ZL38002
AEC with Noise Reduction for Digital Hands-Free Communication
Overview
This product is not recommended for new design. Please use Timberwolf™ audio processor for new design. The ZL38002 device is comprised of an acoustic echo canceller and the necessary control functions for operation. The ZL38002 guarantees clear signal transmission in both transmit and receive audio path directions to ensure reliable voice communication, even when low level signals are provided. The ZL38002 does not use variable attenuators during double-talk or single-talk periods of speech, as do many other acoustic echo cancellers for speakerphones. Instead, the ZL38002 provides high performance full-duplex operation similar to network echo cancellers. This results in users experiencing clear speech and uninterrupted background signals during the conversation and prevents subjective sound quality problems associated with "noise gating" or "noise contrasting". The ZL38002 uses an advanced adaptive filter algorithm that is double-talk stable, which means that convergence takes place even while both parties are talking. This algorithm allows continual tracking of changes in the echo path, regardless of double-talk, as long as a reference signal is available for the echo canceller. The echo tail cancellation capability of the acoustic echo canceller has been sized appropriately (112 ms) to cancel echo in an average sized office with a reverberation time of less than 112 ms. |
