Abstract Arrangement for cancelling echo signals in data transmission over a two-wire transmission path. The data signals occurring in the send path are applied to an adjustable signal processing arrangement. From said data signals a synthetic echo signal (e(t)) is derived which is subtracted in a difference producer from the data signal occurring in the receive path. The residual signal (r(t)) is converted into a digital residual signal (r(j)) in an analog-to-digital converter arrangement. An interpolator which increases the sampling rate by a factor L results in the production of a digital control signal (r(i)) from the digital residual signal, for the setting arrangement. The sampling rate of the digital residual signal is M/LT Hz, wherein T is the duration of a data symbol in sec. and M and L represent integers which are relatively prime, L being greater than one.
In an arrangement for cancelling echo signals in a data transmission system having means for transmitting digital data signals to and receiving digital data signals from a transmission path, said arrangement comprising means for providing a synthetic echo signal in response to the data signals transmitted to the transmission path and a digital control signal, a difference producer for forming the difference between the data signal received from the transmission path and the synthetic echo signals, for providing a residual signal, and a control signal generator comprising an analog-to-digital converter arrangement for converting the residual signal into a digital residual signal; the improvement wherein the control signal generator further comprises means sampling said digital residual signal at a rate of M/LT Hz, and an interpolator for providing said digital control signal with a sampling rate which is L times the sampling rate for the digital residual signal, wherein T is the duration of a data symbol in sec. and M and L represent prime integers, L being greater than one.
