Abstract

A double-talk detector finds an estimated power value of near end background noise based on a residual signal by a noise estimator; the average power of a transmitter input signal by a transmitter average power calculator; the average power of a receiver input signal by a receiver average power calculator; and an estimated echo path attenuation value through a predetermined echo path attenuation value estimating process based on the estimated power value of the near end background noise, the average power of the transmitter input signal and the average power of the receiver input signal by an attenuation value estimator. The double-talk detector detects a double-talk state based on the estimated echo path attenuation value, the average power of the transmitter input signal and the average power of the receiver input signal by a double-talk determiner to control update of the coefficient of an adaptive filter.
