ABSTRACT:
A sub-band acoustic echo canceller includes a first division and decimation process part for dividing a reception signal from a line into first band signals of N channels and for decimating each of the first band signals to output decimated first band signals in a form of complex signals, where N is an integer greater than or equal to two, a second division and decimation process part for dividing a transmission signal into second band signals of N channels and for decimating each of the second band signals to output decimated second band signals in a form of complex signals, an echo canceller group made up of a group of echo cancellers for generating a pseudo echo in each band based on a corresponding one of the decimated first band signals received from the first division and decimation process part by referring to a corresponding one of the decimated second band signals received from the second division and decimation process part and for outputting a residual signal in each band by subtracting the pseudo echo of one band from the decimated second band signal of the same band, and an interpolation and synthesis process part for subjecting the residual signals received from the echo canceller group to interpolation and synthesis to output a synthesized residual signal which is transmitted to a line as the transmission signal, where the echo canceller group carries out an echo cancelling operation for each band in a complex signal region.
