Abstract
A multiport FDX data transceiver having (i) digital transmit and receive chains shared by the multiple ports thereof and (ii) a multi-stage echo-cancellation circuit capable of canceling the echo of the transmitted signal that is coupled back into the receive chain through the analog front end of the transceiver. In an example embodiment, the echo-cancellation circuit comprises two stages. The first stage operates to remove a dominant echo signal corresponding to the output signal that is being broadcast on the multiple ports of the transceiver. The second stage operates to remove a residual echo signal typically caused by differences in the pertinent characteristics of the circuits associated with the different ports of the transceiver. In some embodiments, the multi-stage echo-cancellation circuit can be used for training a single-stage echo-cancellation circuit that may be unable to sufficiently quickly converge on an optimal set of filter coefficients on its own.
