Abstract
An echo canceler has its otherwise conventional tapped delay line basis functions augmented with at least one pair of basis functions realizing two quadrature responses of a complex pole. The frequency of this complex pole is selected as substantially equal to the frequency of the dominant pole of a highpass filter inserted into the echo path of the echo canceler, where the dominant pole is the pole closest to the unit circle. This echo canceler arrangement results in a substantial improvement in attainable echo-return-loss enhancement (ERLE).
