Abstract
An echo canceller and method for cancelling in a return channel signal an echoed receive channel signal where the echoed receive channel signal is combined by an echo channel with an input return channel signal. The echo canceller has a first filter which generates first filter coefficients, generates a first echo estimate signal with the first filter coefficients, and updates the first filter coefficients in response to a first filter control signal. A first summer subtracts the first echo estimate signal from a combined return channel and echo receive channel signal to generate a first echo residual signal. A second filter generates second filter coeffidents, generates a second echo estimate signal with the second filter coefficients, and updates the second filter coefficients in response to a second filter control signal. A second summer subtracts the second echo estimate signal from the combined signal to generate a second echo residual signal, and provides upon the return channel the second echo residual signal. A control unit determines from the receive channel signal, the combined signal, and the first and second echo residual signals, one of a plurality of control states wh…
