This paper addresses the blind dereverberation problem of a single-input multiple-output acoustic system. Many conventional approaches require a precise order of the transfer functions. In this paper, we propose an equalization algorithm that is less sensitive to the order misadjustment of the transfer functions. First, the transfer functions are estimated using an overestimated order, and the inverse filter set for these estimated transfer functions is calculated. Since the estimated transfer functions contain a common polynomial, the signal processed by the inverse filter set suffers from the effect of this common polynomial. Then, we extract this polynomial to compensate for the distortion. The proposed algorithm recovers input signal as long as the channel is overestimated. Simulation results show that the proposed method works well even when the order is highly overestimated.
