Abstract

Disclosed is an echo canceller (10) including: a false echo calculator (32) that acquires current and previous filter-coefficient groups used by an adaptive filtering unit (20), and that calculates plural false echo signals by performing a filtering operation using each of the current and previous filter-coefficient groups on a sequence of reception signals (x(n)); a voice-transmission signal buffer that outputs a previous voice-transmission signal (y(n−1)); an evaluation value calculator (34) that calculates plural evaluated values of an echo cancellation quantity by using the previous voice-transmission signal; a filter selector (36) that selects a new filter-coefficient group on the basis of the plural evaluated values of the echo cancellation quantity; a foreground filter (39) that performs a filtering operation using the new filter-coefficient group on the sequence of reception signals (x(n)) to generate an estimated echo component; and a subtractor (25) that subtracts the estimated echo component from a voice-transmission signal to generate a residual signal (e(n)).
