Abstract

A digital adaptive echo canceller for use in cancelling echo signals caused by trans-hybrid losses in two-wire to four-wire converters comprises first and second adaptive filters (20,22) each arranged to generate synthetic echo signals. Transfer control logic (23) compares difference signals relative to the difference between the synthetic echo signal generated by the first filter (22), and a real echo signal and the synthetic echo signal generated by the second filter (20) and the real echo signal, and if the synthetic echo signal from the first filter (22) is closer to the real echo signal causes transfer of the coefficients of the first filter (22) to the second filter (20) such that the synthetic signal mixed with transmitted speech signals in a mixer (24) is updated when necessary.
