Adaptive noise cancelling arrangement, a noise reduction system and a transceiver

An adaptive noise cancelling arrangement for cancelling noise in a noise disturbed signal, said adaptive noise cancelling arrangement comprising:

• a primary signal input for receiving a primary signal which is disturbed with noise;
• at least one reference signal input;
• a signal output for providing a noise cancelled signal;
• a first subtracter having a first input coupled to the reference signal input;
• an adaptive noise filter having an input coupled to to an output of the first subtracter;
• a second subtracter having a first input coupled to an output of the adaptive noise filter, a second input coupled to the primary signal input, and an output coupled to the signal output;
• and
• an adaptive cross-talk filter having an input coupled to the signal output, and an output coupled to a second input of the first subtracter, characterised in that the adaptive cross-talk filter comprises a pre-filter section for pre-filtering the primary signal, and an adaptive filter section for determining coefficients of the pre-filter section, an input of the pre-filter section being coupled to the primary signal input, and an input of the adaptive filter section being coupled to the signal output, the adaptive noise cancelling arrangement further comprising a first delay section and second delay section, the first delay section being coupled between the primary signal input and the second input of the second subtracter, and the second delay section being coupled between the input of the adaptive noise filter and a further input of the adaptive cross-talk filter.
