Abstract

The present invention provides a method for hardware reduction in the echo canceller and the near-end crosstalk canceller. The method applies an N (N is a positive integer) times divide frequency sampling operation onto the input data list of the echo canceller first (and the near-end crosstalk canceller). Then, it applies an N times multiply frequency sampling operation onto the output data list of the echo canceller (and the near-end crosstalk canceller) to generate a multiplied frequency data list. Afterwards, a low pass filter operation is applied to the multiplied frequency data list to generate a low pass data list to eliminate the echo signal (and the near-end crosstalk signal). The present invention reduces the number of the taps in the echo canceller and the near-end crosstalk canceller by using the digital signal process technique. Therefore, the area of the whole communication IC occupied by the echo canceller and the near-end crosstalk canceller can be reduced.
