Abstract: To improve the convergence rate of digital repeater echo cancellation, firstly, the echo cancellation technique based on adaptive filter was studyed; secondly, the recursion algorithm of adaptive filter was improved by the technical schemes that two adaptive filters compute in parallel and update the weights jointly and recursively. Since the error signal to adjust weights of the two adaptive filters was generated in different ways, the schemes were divided into two categories: scheme one is that the weights of two filters were adjusted by error signal of echo cancellation (simultaneously); scheme two is that the weights of the first filter were adjusted by error signal as the difference value of received signal from antenna and output signal of the first filter; and the weights of the second filter were adjusted by error signal as the difference value of the above-mentioned error signal and the output signal of the second filter (separately). The simulation results show that the convergence rate of the echo cancellation is increased by 11.11%~17.78% in the improved technique scheme, so as to improve the condition effectively with the slow convergence rate of digital repeater echo cancellation.
