Summary

Noise cancellation is particularly important in the new mobile communications field, with respect to background noise and acoustic interference in moving vehicles. This comprehensive text develops a coherent and structured presentation of a broad range of the theory and application of statistical signal processing, with emphasis on digital noise reduction algorithms. Other applications covered are spectral estimation, channel equalisation, speech coding over noisy channels, speech recognition in adverse environments, active noise control, echo cancellation, restoration of lost filters, and adaptive notch filters.
