Abstract

In the echo-cancelling device of the invention new decision-error directed algorithms are developed which permit to maintain adaptivity of the echo coefficients and perform precise tracking of the far-end echo phase in a computationally efficent manner during full-duplex operation. The echo-cancelling device comprises an adjust device (40) performing the minimization of the mean-square error obtained as the difference between the signal at the output of the equalizer (Z) and the data-symbol decision (a), for providing the adjustment of the near echo estimator (20) coefficients, of the far echo estimator (22) coefficients, and of the phase (26) of the estimated far echo.
