Nonlinear Echo Cancellation

Nonlinear Echo Cancellation is a technology used in audio communication systems to eliminate echoes that are caused by complex, nonlinear interactions in equipment—like loudspeakers or microphones—not just simple reflections. Unlike traditional methods that handle straightforward echoes, nonlinear cancellation models and compensates for distortions and nonlinearities, improving sound clarity. It helps ensure that conversations remain clear and natural, especially in environments where equipment introduces such complexities. Essentially, it treats and suppresses echoes that are shaped by nonlinear behaviors, resulting in better audio quality during calls or recordings.
