Abstract

An echo canceller which cancels an echo by generating a replica of echo from the transmit data when the signal from the transmit line appears as an echo signal on the receive line, and subtracting the replica of echo from the echo signal in a circuit for connecting a transmit line and receive line to the full duplex transmission line through a hybrid circuit. The echo canceller for generating a replica of echo is composed of the first circuit which generates a replica of echo of limited length and a second circuit in which generates a replica of echo for eliminating the residual echo that is not cancelled by the first circuit.
