More Information
Summary:This invention is an audio system capable of identifying frequencies of feedback signals and filters these feedback signals. Frequency interpolation is utilized on a sampled frequency spectrum signal corresponding to a feedback signal, where the frequency interpolation allows the frequency of the feedback signal to be identified, especially where the frequency lies between samples of the frequency spectrum signal. The frequency identification allows a less intrusive filter, such as a notch filter, to be placed at the determined frequency of the feedback to eliminate the feedback signal. The placement of the notch filter reduces the effect on the audio signal provided by the audio system. The audio system may provide adaptive filtering of multiple feedback signals, using a single filter such as a notch filter. The single notch filter is configured to filter the more than one feedback signal, thereby freeing-up notch filters for filtering other feedback signals, or for reducing memory and processing requirements for the processor of the system.
