Abstract

A full duplex speakerphone for connection to a telephone system employs adaptive FIR filters for acoustic and electrical echo cancellation in a novel combination with analog gain controls responsive to incoming signal levels and a transmit level control responsive to the receive signal power level. The particular combination minimizes the amount of digital signal processing required to maintain full duplex operation by holding the signal dynamic range within predetermined limits.
