- Ok, here's the situation. I have a telephone interface circuit that does
- dialing, ring detect, on hook/off hook and a few other things. This circuit
- has a 2 to 4 wire hybrid for the direct interface to the PSTN (or PBX), and
- it is this hybrid that is the source of my problem. Seperate transmit and
- receive lines serve as input and output respectively on one side of the
- hybrid circuit, and the other side (PSTN side) is a single line carrying
- both transmit and receive signals. The hybrid has a natural property that
- returns the single transmit line signal with a slightly lower amplitude and
- a small phase shift on the receive line. I think it does this to provide
- sidetone on a telephone handset. Does anyone know of a way to suppress or
- better yet, completely cancel this receive signal without affecting the
- receive signal from the PSTN line? Please tell me if my question needs
- clarification. Thanks.
