Abstract
A telephone system including a base station and a mobile unit in communication with each other is provided with an acoustic echo canceler. A sound signal is input. A reference signal that matches the sound signal is formed. A plurality of encoders and decoders receive the reference signal and form a modified reference signal. The plurality of encoders and decoders match a set of encoders and decoders that operate on the sound signal in the base station and the mobile unit. An adaptive filter receives the modified reference signal and forms a replica signal. A subtractor subtracts the replica signal from an echo signal received by the base station.
