Abstract
A codec which normally provides impedance synthesis, filtering, suppression of receive signal echoes, and gain equalization for a plurality of line circuits under the control of a microprocessor includes an arrangement for ascertaining the actual impedance of each line that it serves and making a corresponding adjustment of the receive and transmit equalizers and other codec parameters. A series of short tones having precisely known amplitude frequencies throughout the voice band are applied to the line when the line is on-hook and during the off-hook interval before tone is returned to the subscriber. Impedance is measured by observing the echo and obtaining an estimate of the phase by performing a least squares fit during a time interval not exceeding the usual interdigital call signaling interval.
