Echo Cancellation

  • Chapter
Digital Communication

Abstract

Multiple access communication, discussed in chapter 16, usually relies on the orthogonality of the different signals by separating them in time or frequency. Analogous techniques apply tofull-duplex transmission, or simultaneous transmission in both directions on a point-to-point link. Specifically, we can use time-compression multiplexing (TCM) and frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). A more efficient approach, echo cancellation enables transmission in two directions simultaneously using the same frequency band, thereby reducing the bandwidth requirements approximately in half relative to TCM and FDM.
