| Abstract | Speech controlled applications are now becoming more and more practical due to advances in technology. These applications vary from command and control instruments, video conferencing to robotics. However, their performance decreases when the acquired speech signal is corrupted by background noise. Numerous research has been done in the last two decades to improve their performance. The switched Griffiths-Jim beamformer is one of the well known methods used to reduce background noise (or interference). This algorithm makes use of two adaptive filters and a voice activity detector. The first filter is used as a beam-steering filter which is updated during speech signals and the second filter is used as a noise cancellation filter which is updated during a noise-alone signal. A voice activity detector is used to control the updates of these adaptive filters. Generally, the normalised least mean squares (NLMS) algorithm is used for the adaptive filters. However, it is found that the convergence rate of the NLMS deteriorates for coloured noise under certain non-stationary conditions where the correlation matrix is "stiff". It has been found that the affine projection algorithm will perform better under these conditions. Therefore, a comparison of these two adaptive filters in this beamformer structure will be discussed in this paper. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
