Abstract
In a telecommunication system, erroneous echo-elimination and equalization resulting from non-linearities of a D/A-converter and an A/D-converter are prevented. An error signal (e.sub.n) updates an adaptive echo-elimination filter and an adaptive equalization filter. The error signal (e.sub.n) also adjusts the values of specific adjustable devices, such as capacitors, in the converters to compensate for non-linearities in the converters. The error signal is used by logic devices to adjust the converters in accordance with various algorithms.
