<p>In an adaptive filter, each of first through N-th taps belongs to either one of first through M-th tap groups. A first generating section (31) generates a specific one of the first through the M-th tap groups. A second generating section (32 to 34, 37, 38) generates a tap select signal in accordance with first through K-th tap gains and the specific tap group, where a positive integer K is less than a positive integer N. By the tap select signal, a tap select section (22) connects first through K-th selected taps to a filter section (20-1 to 20-(N-1), 24-1 to 24-K, 25-1 to 25-K, 26, 27). A control section (40, 41, 52, 53) is responsive to the tap select signal for controlling the first generating section to make the first generating section generate a renewal one of the first through the M-th tap groups as the specific tap group. <IMAGE></p> |
