Abstract
Echo cancelling device for cancelling echoes affecting the incoming signal received over a two-wire telephone line, comprising near echo canceller 20, far echo canceller 22 and an adder 26 providing the estimated echo signal. A circuit path including a digital-to-analog converter 48 for converting the digital estimated echo signal into analog form and a subtracter 52 for subtracting the resulting analog signal from the analog incoming signal, is separated from a circuit path including an analog-to-digital converter 42 for converting the analog incoming signal into digital form and a subtracter 44 for subtracting the digital estimated echo signal from the resulting digital incoming signal thereby providing a digital signal used as a control signal for adjusting the echo cancellers 20 and 22.
