The invention includes a full duplex transceiver for transmitting and
receiving communication signals. The transceiver includes 1 to N sample
and hold circuits. Each sample and hold circuit receives a first signal
that includes a far-end signal, and in some cases an echo signal, and in
some cases alternatively or additionally cross-talk signals. The
transceiver additionally includes a plurality of subtraction circuits.
Each subtraction circuit receives an output of at least one of the sample
and hold circuits. Each subtraction circuit subtracts at least a fraction
of a replica signal from at least a fraction of the output of the at
least one of the sample and hold circuits. The subtraction circuits
generate an output that represent the far-end signal with substantially
reduced echo and/or cross-talk interference, and is available for
additional receiver processing.
