Abstract
Abstract A main adaptive digital filter and a sub adaptive digital filter are provided, and these two adaptive digital filters share a filter coefficient to be controlled. On the side of the main adaptive digital filter, the shared coefficient is updated so that the difference between the output and a desired response is minimized and on the side of the subadapted digital filter, the above-stated shared filter coefficient is updated so that the output is minimized. A prescribed limitation is given to the frequency characteristic of a filter coefficient to be adapted, by treating the input of the sub adaptive digital filter as a signal weighted on the frequency or a noise having its band limited with respect to the input signal or the output signal of the main adaptive digital filter, and coefficient updating control is conducted so that the coefficient will not go beyond the limitation.
