  • Patent number: 9596541
    Abstract: A method and system for improving echo suppression and/or duplexity of handsfree telephone applications is presented. An echo suppression unit for an electronic device comprising a loudspeaker and a microphone is described. The microphone is configured to capture a transmit signal, wherein the transmit signal comprises an echo of a receive signal rendered by the loudspeaker. The echo suppression unit is configured to determine, based on the receive signal, whether the receive signal comprises a first frequency component causing the echo of the receive signal to comprise a distortion component. The distortion component comprises one or more frequencies which are not comprised within the first frequency component. Furthermore, the echo suppression unit is configured to apply a post-filter to the transmit signal, if it is determined that the receive signal comprises the first frequency component. The post-filter is configured to selectively attenuate the distortion component.
