Abstract

An embodiment of an acoustic echo cancellation system is disclosed. The system comprises an echo cancellation unit, a second filter and a subtraction unit. The echo cancellation unit comprises a first attenuator, a first filter and a first subtractor. The first attenuator has a first down-scaling factor for attenuating a first signal. The first filter generates a first echo signal estimate based on the attenuated first signal. The first subtractor generates a third signal by subtracting the first echo signal estimate from a second signal. The second filter generates a second echo signal estimate based on the first signal. The subtraction unit subtracts the second echo signal estimate from the third signal.
