Abstract
This paper introduces a new regulator to control the adaptation of the adaptive algorithm for use in a blocking system. Here, the blocking system is part of the previously proposed scheme, which cancels target signal for the estimation of noise spectrum. Contrary to the use of a hard approach to control the adaptation, a soft approach is proposed. As such, the rigidity of the adaptation is greatly reduced and the adaptation can be carried out even during non-target signal period. Results show that the proposed soft regulator achieves better target signal cancellation, which in turn leads to greater noise suppression capability.
