22 /* Implementation Notes
23    David Rowe
24    April 2007
25 
26    This code started life as Steve's NLMS algorithm with a tap
27    rotation algorithm to handle divergence during double talk.  I
28    added a Geigel Double Talk Detector (DTD) [2] and performed some
29    G168 tests.  However I had trouble meeting the G168 requirements,
30    especially for double talk - there were always cases where my DTD
31    failed, for example where near end speech was under the 6dB
32    threshold required for declaring double talk.
33 
34    So I tried a two path algorithm [1], which has so far given better
35    results.  The original tap rotation/Geigel algorithm is available
36    in SVN http://svn.rowetel.com/software/oslec/tags/before_16bit.
37    It's probably possible to make it work if some one wants to put some
38    serious work into it.
39 
40    At present no special treatment is provided for tones, which
41    generally cause NLMS algorithms to diverge.  Initial runs of a
42    subset of the G168 tests for tones (e.g ./echo_test 6) show the
43    current algorithm is passing OK, which is kind of surprising.  The
44    full set of tests needs to be performed to confirm this result.
45 
46    One other interesting change is that I have managed to get the NLMS
47    code to work with 16 bit coefficients, rather than the original 32
48    bit coefficents.  This reduces the MIPs and storage required.
49    I evaulated the 16 bit port using g168_tests.sh and listening tests
50    on 4 real-world samples.
51 
52    I also attempted the implementation of a block based NLMS update
53    [2] but although this passes g168_tests.sh it didn't converge well
54    on the real-world samples.  I have no idea why, perhaps a scaling
55    problem.  The block based code is also available in SVN
56    http://svn.rowetel.com/software/oslec/tags/before_16bit.  If this
57    code can be debugged, it will lead to further reduction in MIPS, as
58    the block update code maps nicely onto DSP instruction sets (it's a
59    dot product) compared to the current sample-by-sample update.
60 
61    Steve also has some nice notes on echo cancellers in echo.h

535 
536    Some soft phones send speech signals with a lot of low frequency
537    energy, e.g. down to 20Hz.  This can make the hybrid non-linear
538    which causes the echo canceller to fall over.  This filter can help
539    by removing any low frequency before it gets to the tx port of the
540    hybrid.
541 
542    It can also help by removing and DC in the tx signal.  DC is bad
543    for LMS algorithms.
544 
545    This is one of the classic DC removal filters, adjusted to provide
546    sufficient bass rolloff to meet the above requirement to protect hybrids
547    from things that upset them. The difference between successive samples
548    produces a lousy HPF, and then a suitably placed pole flattens things out.
549    The final result is a nicely rolled off bass end. The filtering is
550    implemented with extended fractional precision, which noise shapes things,
551    giving very clean DC removal.
