I've implemented a conventional echo cancellation solution using LMS , however my application has a known impulse response which is static. Am I missing a trick here? Any suggestions great fully received. _____________________________ Posted through www.DSPRelated.com

If the response is known and static for all time, then you don't really need an adaptive algorithm; you can set the taps and forget them. An adaptive system won't necessarily hurt anything, other than the burden of the additional complexity and some retraining time whenever it wakes up.

However, I was wondering if there was some clever way of generating the taps directly from the. Impulse response? _____________________________ Posted through www.DSPRelated.com

Is the echo path acoustic? If so, it's unlikely to be truly static. Acoustic paths have a funny way of not being LTI even though we like to think of them that way. Also the speaker will be affected by temperature, aging, etc. Bob

Not that it matters, but I'm curious. Also, if you measure the IPR whenever the systems wakes up, it may benefit from an adaptive algorithm, and then just freeze the taps once you're confident that it's trained. This is a fairly common thing to do. Eric Jacobsen Anchor Hill Communications http://www.anchorhill.com

You should be able to see how much it (the filter) varies from session to session, and then you will know if adaptation is warranted. Clay
