Abstract

See full text

An echo reduction circuit that may be used to reduce the returned echo in communication links with signficant delay. By making effective use of the echo-masking effect of near-simultaneous desired speech energy and the redundancy present in normal speech, the circuit makes possible wide bandwidth, non-choppy, perceived distortion-free, and perceived echo-free teleconferencing. The circuit performs a rapid time constant, semi-waveform-following partial attenuation of a preemphasized version of the returning transmit signal proportional to a calculation of the likely strength of the returned echo in relation to the strength of the local speech.
