摘要:
A process for computing the coefficients C(i) of an adaptive filter (206) used in an echo-cancellation structure for a telecommunication apparatus. The process is based on the Least Mean Squared (L.M.S.) or gradient algorithm for computing the coefficients of the filter in accordance with the formula: ##EQU1## where e(i) is the estimation error and .alpha. is the step size used for performing an adjustement of the convergence of the filtering process. The process uses two different estimations of the power of the analog signal, a former short-term estimation and a latter long-term estimation in order to derive the appropriate value of the stepsize .alpha. which is used for computing the new coefficients. In the preferred embodiment the value of .alpha. is determined by dividing a constant .alpha..sub.0 being slightly lower than the maximum value ensuring stability of the convergence process by the greater of the two different estimations of the power of the analog signals.
摘要:
A decimation filter for converting a received train of sigma-delta pulses in synchronism with a sigma-delta clock (fs) into a train of Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) samples having a PCM clock in accordance with the formula ##EQU1## includes a computer for computing one PCM sample from a sequence of sigma-delta samples in synchronism with the PCM clock and also a comparison circuit for determining whether phase correction of the PCM clock is necessary to lock the generation of the PCM samples on the sigma-delta clock extracted from the received sigma-delta signal, the decimation filter including shifters which shift the computation process at least one sigma-delta clock pulse in order to provide phase control in the generation of the PCM samples.
