Abstract: A bidirectional transmission system with echo cancellation allows simultaneous interchange of digital information between an exchange and subscribers on a single transmission line. Data flows are transmitted by packets separated by short silence intervals within which clock signals are extracted and echo-cancellation adjustment is accomplished. Use of an adaptive equalizer and a single sampling operation per sampling period are possible.
