Abstract

An echo is cancelled from a composite signal by providing a coarse phase adjustment, a fine phase adjustment, an amplitude correction, and then subtracting the phase shifted signal from the composite signal. In the coarse adjustment, the phase is slightly under-corrected, thereby allowing the fine adjustment to proceed in a single direction and decreasing convergence time. Correlation is provided by an amplitude inverting multiplying circuit and phase adjustment is provided by an all-pass phase shift network combined with an impedance multiplier coupled to the phase shift network.
