This paper addresses the problem of acoustic echo cancellation in

 

non-linear environments. The first contribution relates to the use

 

of a cascaded model which divides the loudspeaker enclosure microphone

 

system into two main blocks; the first models the downlink

 

transducers which are assumed to be the main source of nonlinearity.

 

The second block includes the acoustical channel and uplink

 

transducers which are assumed to be linear and have a comparatively

 

longer impulse response and higher time variability. The second

 

contribution is a new non-linear adaptive echo canceler which is

 

based on the cascaded model and has greater robustness to changes

 

in the acoustic channel than an existing power filter approach.
