Abstract(in English) This paper provides a performance evaluation of a nonlinear-echo canceller(NLEC)applied to a hands-free communication system with sampling-frequency offsets. When a conventional echo canceller using linear adaptive filter(EC-LAF)is used for the system, it cannot cancel out the echo because the optimal echo path fluctuates. However, the echo replica, which is the output signal of EC-LAF, and the residual echo have correlation, which is similar to the residual echo model in the NLEC and leads to the effectiveness of the NLEC. Simulations with speech signals including doubletalk periods demonstrate that the echo suppression performance of the NLEC is approximately 20 dB higher than that of the EC-LAF. Furthermore, mean opinion score shows that the near-end speech quality of the NLEC is 0.5 point higher than that of EC-LAF.
