= 2 R 2 2 R 1 + 3 R 2 Rx
In like manner, the signal value at the 5th node 905 places is then as shown in the formula (2):
2 Tx × R 1 / / R 2 R 1 / / R 2 + 2 R 1 - ( Tx + Rx ) × ( 2 R 1 ) / / R 2 ( 2 R 1 ) / / R 2 + R 1
= 2 Tx × R 2 2 R 1 + 3 R 2 - ( Tx + Rx ) × 2 R 2 2 R 1 + 3 R 2 - - - ( 2 )
= - 2 R 2 2 R 1 + 3 R 2 Rx
That is to say, when signal through after this passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 42, can obtain an output signal and receive signal Rx in proportion to and (Rx), make that contained echo is disturbed in the former reception signal to be able to be offseted, and reach the echo cancellation effect.Because the passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 42 of present embodiment only uses passive type assembly such as resistance and simple circuit design, so, compared to the prior art of aforementioned use active element, the passive echo elimination device of present embodiment can have more that circuit design is simple relatively, cost is relatively low and the advantage person of power saving etc. comparatively.

Through the output signal that processing produced of echo cancellation circuit coupling 42, promptly only include the composition that receives signal Rx, and be transferred into the first order circuit of receiving terminal 33 again, in present embodiment sample-and-hold circuit 36.As skilled in the art to understand, sample-and-hold circuit 36 is the first order circuit of the analog-digital converter in the receiving terminal 33 usually, it is by the switching of two opposite a plurality of switches of clock signal ψ, ψ ' control of phase place, repeatable operation is kept between the pattern at a sampling mode and, its be when this sampling mode, utilize capacity effect to the output of front stage circuits as a result signal take a sample, when this keeps pattern, the result who takes a sample is outputed to late-class circuit again, to carry out follow-up processing (as the analog digital conversion).
Please continue to consult Figure 1B, deserve passive echo elimination device of the present invention when being in the mode of operation of this signal sampling mode, be coupled to input, VICM, and the VOCM (being the common-mode voltage of input and output) of state amplifier 37 from the reception signal of the output (the 6th, the 5th node 906,905) of passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 42 respectively by the capacitor C (361,362) of commutation circuit 36.This receives signal and be sent to the signal processing that receiving terminal 33 carries out analog-to-digital by VOP and VON again after state amplifier 37 is adjusted gain.

Because the framework and the running of sample-and-hold circuit are well known to those skilled in the art, so do not give unnecessary details at this.In first embodiment shown in Figure 1A to a C, be the first order circuit that is used as the analog-to-digital conversion circuit (DAC) of receiving terminal by sample-and-hold circuit 36, with sampling mode that receives signal and the switch operating of keeping pattern; Yet, also can select to use other prior art to substitute, such as, but be not limited to MDAC1 circuit etc.
See also Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C.Wherein, Fig. 2 A is the circuit diagram of second embodiment of passive echo elimination device of the present invention; Fig. 2 B is the circuit diagram of passive echo elimination device under signal sampling mode state shown in Fig. 2 A; Fig. 2 C then keeps circuit diagram under the mode state for passive echo elimination device shown in Fig. 2 A in signal.In this second embodiment, because transmission end 31, line interface 32, receiving terminal 33, line drive 35, and thin portion formation, mode of operation and the realization effect of pressure reduction circuit 41 (that is offsetting signal generating circuit), be similar to first embodiment shown in Figure 1A to Fig. 1 C substantially, so repeat no more.
In second embodiment of the passive echo elimination device of the present invention shown in Fig. 2 A to Fig. 2 C, this passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 52 also includes: some electric capacity 521~524 (called after first to fourth electric capacity in regular turn) and suitable circuit connect.One input of first electric capacity 521 is coupled in the 3rd node 903 between pressure reduction circuit 41 and the line interface 32.One input of second electric capacity 522 is coupled in the first node 901 between pressure reduction circuit 41 and the transmission end 31.One input of the 3rd electric capacity 523 is coupled in the 4th node 904 between pressure reduction circuit 41 and the transmission end 31.One input of the 4th electric capacity 524 is coupled in the Section Point 902 between pressure reduction circuit 41 and the line interface 32.
Transmit the influence that signal Rx is received in signal Tx butt joint in order to remove effectively, be positioned at the signal 2Tx at pressure reduction circuit 41 two ends and Tx+Rx as mentioned above, input in the echo cancellation circuit coupling 42 with phase inversion system, and transmit signal components in proportions poor (being twice) therebetween in order to compensate, then be made as C together as if capacitance with first electric capacity 521 and the 4th electric capacity 524, the capacitance of second electric capacity 522 and the 3rd electric capacity 523 promptly should just be the relation of twice with being made as 0.5C.Then, first electric capacity 521 is connected with the other end of second electric capacity 522 and constitutes one first output (the 5th node 905), and the 3rd electric capacity 523 also is connected with the other end of the 4th electric capacity 524 and constitute one second output (the 6th node 906).And this first and second output (the 5th, the 6th node 905,906) is coupled to this receiving terminal 33 by sample-and-hold circuit 46.
Through planting circuit design thus, the signal value that we just can calculate pressure reduction circuit 41 two ends easily by the dividing potential drop theory is through after the processing of echo cancellation circuit coupling 52, for the influence of the charge value at node 906 places as shown in the formula (3):
-2Tx×0.5C+(Tx+Rx)×C (3)
=Rx·C
In like manner, its for the influence of the charge value at the 5th node 905 places then as shown in the formula (4):

=-Rx·C
Can get by formula (3) and formula (4), in the passive echo elimination device of second embodiment of the invention, the signal value that this first and second output (the 5th, the 6th node 905,906) is located, also general with first embodiment, (Rx), contained echo interference is eliminated by passive echo elimination device of the present invention in the former as can be known reception signal to receive signal Rx in proportion to.Because the passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 52 of present embodiment only uses passive type assembly such as electric capacity and simple circuit design, so, compared to the prior art of aforementioned use active element, the passive echo elimination device of present embodiment can have more that circuit design is simple relatively, cost is relatively low and the advantage person of power saving etc. comparatively.
Please note, present embodiment also can be with the electric capacity in the sample-and-hold circuit 46 363,364 and/or first, two, three, four electric capacity 521-524 are designed to tunable capacitor (variable capacitor), decide the voltage gain value of being desired by the ratio of adjusting capacitance, though because the event that echo cancellation circuit coupling 52 realizes with the passive type assembly fully, its voltage gain value can only be the value less than 1, but as previously mentioned, for advanced technology, the needs that amplify of the signal that receives into of no-trump, the amplitude of signal must be dwindled (promptly using voltage gain value) on the contrary, could cooperate the operation of subsequent conditioning circuit less than 1.Therefore, the passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 52 in the present embodiment is particularly suitable for being used in the middle of the advanced technology.
Through the output signal that processing produced of echo cancellation circuit coupling 52, promptly only include the composition that receives signal Rx, and be transferred into the first order circuit of receiving terminal 33 again, in present embodiment sample-and-hold circuit 46.Though the sample-and-hold circuit 46 in the present embodiment is in order to cooperate the framework of the echo cancellation circuit coupling that is made of electric capacity 521-524, sample-and-hold circuit 36 among its circuit framework and first embodiment has partly comes in and goes out, but because being those skilled in the art institutes, the realization of sample-and-hold circuit and principle extensively understand, so its detailed architecture and operating principle will no longer be given unnecessary details at this.
See also Fig. 3, it is the circuit diagram of the 3rd embodiment of passive echo elimination device of the present invention.In this 3rd embodiment, because most assembly is for example: line interface 32, receiving terminal 33, sample-and-hold circuit 36, and thin portion formation, mode of operation and the realization effect of echo cancellation circuit coupling 42a etc., be similar to first embodiment shown in Figure 1A substantially, therefore, identical assembly will directly give identical title and numbering and repeat no more its formation.Relatively, the following description will only not exist together with previous embodiment at this 3rd embodiment and will be described.
As shown in Figure 3, in the 3rd embodiment of passive echo elimination device of the present invention, set digital analog converter (DAC) is to realize with a duplicate circuit 314 (Replica) of a current type digital analog converter 313 (Current DAC) and current type digital analog converter 313 in the 31a of this transmission end.In present embodiment, duplicate circuit 314 comes down to constitute one in the passive echo elimination device of the present invention and offsets signal generating circuit, just can be used to produce a counteracting signal person (promptly duplicating signal) of the composition that only includes the transmission signal Tx that is produced by current type digital analog converter 313.In addition, the resistance value R1 of first to fourth resistance 421a~424a of the passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 42a of present embodiment is then all identical.
In this 3rd embodiment, include a plurality of converting unit 3131~313n in the current type digital analog converter 313.And each converting unit 3131~313n can provide the digital signal (D for institute's desire conversion respectively 1... D N) in one (Bit) carry out the translation function that digital revolving die is intended (D/A), for example, if when the digital signal of required conversion is 8, n=8 then.Two analog signal output+O1 of each converting unit 3131~313n~+ On ,-O1~-On comes together in second, third node 902,903 respectively.From the digital signal of transmission end 31, through after this current type digital analog converter 313 converts analog signal to, be sent to long-range another network equipment via this line interface 32 and the twisted-pair feeder 34 that connected thereof.As for, this 902,903 of second, third node is to be respectively coupled to the 4th resistance 424a among the passive type echo cancellation circuit coupling 42a of the present invention and the input of the first resistance 421a.
