An object of this invention is to provide an adaptive filter capable of reducing a convergence time and residual error even when there exists an interval having a small input signal power for a long time, and an adapting method thereof. The adaptive filter comprises a signal power monitoring circuit for receiving an input signal and outputs of delay elements and outputting a first stop signal for stopping tap position control and a second stop signal for stopping coefficient updating and a coefficient updating control circuit for receiving the second stop signal and an error signal outputted by a subtracter and outputting the error signal or zero to coefficient generating circuits as an updating signal. The signal power monitoring circuit calculates a sum of powers of all or part of signals of the delay elements, so that if the power sum is smaller than a first threshold, it turns on the first stop signal to stop the tap position control and if the sum is smaller than a second threshold, turns on the second signal to stop the coefficient updating.
