Abstract An echo canceller of this invention cancels an echo signal input to a sampler through an echo path upon 2-wire/4-wire conversion. The echo canceller includes a filter having a characteristic for reducing a tail of an echo response waveform and inserted between an output terminal of the sampler and a reception output terminal, a first transversal filter for generating a first canceling signal for canceling an echo signal sampled at equal sampling clock intervals after the echo signal passes through the filter, a second transversal filter for canceling a deviation of a sampling value obtained when sampling clock is jittered before the deviation passes through the filter, an enable/disable unit for enabling/disabling a tap output of the second transversal filter, and a controller for, from a moment at which the sampling clock is jittered, controlling the enable/disable unit to cancel a deviation in correspondence with a deviation value of an actual sampling value.
An echo canceller for canceling an echo signal which results from 2-wire/4-wire conversion and is sampled by a sampler, comprising: a filter connected with an output of said sampler; a first transversal filter which has the coefficients representing the echo path response wave at fixed sampling timing and generates a first echo canceling signal; a first subtracting means which subtracts said first echo canceling signal from an output of said filter connected with said sampler; a second transversal filter which has the coefficients representing the deviation of the sampled value of the echo path response wave and generates a second echo canceling signal; a second subtracting means which subtracts said second echo canceling signal from said output of said sampler; enable/disable means for enabling/disabling a tap output of said second transversal filter; and controller means for, from a moment at which a sampling clock is jittered, controlling said enable/disable means, using a control signal, for canceling the deviation of sampled echo signal.
