Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19805942C1] The present invention relates to a method for improving acoustic noise attenuation in hand-free devices essentially used in automobiles, wherein said method uses a level balance (22) as well as a plurality of echo-compensation adaptive filters (34) each for processing a given partial band. In at least one partial band, another adaptive filter (shadow filter 36) of a lower order is connected in parallel to an adaptive echo-compensation filter (34). Spatial modifications can thus be determined on the basis of a combined estimation which comprises a correlation analysis as well as a residual-error comparison of the two concurring filters (34, 36).
