Abstract

An echo canceller which estimates an echo gain from a reception signal level and a transmission signal level; calculates logarithmically converted power of a reception signal level; calculates logarithmically converted power of a transmission signal level; estimates an echo gain based on the reception signal level and the transmission signal level; adds the estimated echo gain to the reception signal level to obtain an estimated echo level, calculates logarithmically converted power of a residual signal level; and compares the estimated echo level with the residual signal level after echo cancellation; wherein the echo of the reception signal contained in the transmission signal is canceled when the estimated echo level exceeds the value obtained by adding a margin to the residual signal level.
