Abstract
The present invention relates to a device, such as a communication device, comprising an adaptive foreground filter configured to calculate a first echo estimation signal based on a first input signal, and an adaptive background filter being more rapidly adapting than the foreground filter and configured to calculate a second echo estimation signal based on said first input signal. Embodiments of the device further comprise damping control means for controlling damping of an echo-cancelled output signal. The device in various embodiments includes that the damping control means is configured to calculate a maximum echo estimation signal using both the first and the second echo estimation signals, and control the damping of the echo-cancelled output signal based on said maximum echo estimation signal and/or a signal derived from said maximum echo estimation signal.
