CSE-342
Echo
There is a limit to which the loss of connection can be
increased
Increasing further loss will decrease loudness of
signal
Maximum value set for this is normally 40 ms
Return trip delay (ms)
Loss (dB)

CSE-342
Echo
For longer circuits echo suppressors or echo cancellers
are used
Echo suppressor
consists of a voice-operated attenuator,
is fitted in one path of 4 wire & is operated by speech signals of
other side
whenever speech transmitted in one direction, txn in opposite
direction is attenuated, thus interrupting the echo path
one such suppressor (half echo suppressor) at each end of the
cct
Echo canceller
echo canceller employs a digital adaptive filter to set up a
model or characterization of the voice signal
As a voice path passes back through the cancellation system,
the echo canceller compares the signal and the model to cancel
existing echo dynamically 63

Sidetone
the name given to an effect on 2-wire system (e.g.
basic analogue telephones) where the speaker hears
his own voice in his own earphone while speaking.
Too little sidetone can make speakers think their
telephone is dead, but too much leads them to lower
their voices.
Anti-sidetone circuit is normally incorporated into the
telephone circuitry to control the level of sidetone.
ITU-T recommends sidetone reference equivalents of at
least 17 dB.

Singing
If both paths of 4-wire circuit are connected directly to
the 2-wire circuit at each end, a signal can circulate
round the complete loop thus created. This will
results in continuous oscillation, known as singing,
unless the sum of the gains in the two direction were
less than zero. To avoid this a transhybrid
transformer (4-wire/2-wire terminating set) is used.
Stability: (related to singing)
-singing path loss Ls=2(B+L2)
-Condition of stability Ls>0
Stability
If the balance return loss is small and gains of
amplifiers are high then net gain may exceed 0 and
singing will occur
Singing can be regarded as excessive echo

Stability
The net loss of singing path L
s
= 2 (B + L
2
) where B is
balance return loss due to reflection at hybrid and L
2
is
sum of losses between 2-W to 2-W
Thus singing path loss equals
Balance return loss
Sum of 2W to 2W loses in both direction
Stability condition: Ls > 0 , B + L

>0 ,G

< B (where G

= -
L

)
Singing point defines maximum gain w/o singing = B
Stability margin defines maximum amount of additional
gain that can be introduced on both sides w/o causing
singing i.e. Ls-2M = 0. Hence M = B + L

Parts are 4 wire (headset and long haul)
4 wire = two unidirectional signals
unidirectional signals make amplification a lot easier
Parts are 2 wire (local loop)
2 wire = one bi-directional signal
Turn-of-the-century decision to save $$$ and go 2 wire on local loops
Parts are analog (phone & local loop)
About 80% of U.S. Local Loops are copper all-the-way
Parts are digital
(long haul, many CO switches, some local loops)
About 20% of U.S. Local Loops use ISDN or Digital Loop Carriers
