This work presents a statistical analysis of a beamformer-assisted acoustic echo canceler (AEC). A new formulation leads to analytical models that can also be used to predict the transient performance of adaptive wideband beamformers. Monte Carlo simulations illustrate the accuracy of the model, which is then used to provide design guidelines. Application of the new model confirms previous experimental findings that the same cancellation performance of a single-microphone AEC can be achieved with a shorter AEC when the possibility of spatial filtering is available.
