1. A simulated echo path characteristic obtained by this estimation by successively estimating echo path characteristics based on a received signal and a transmission signal containing an echo signal formed by mixing the received signal through an echo path. An echo canceling method of subtracting a simulated echo signal generated based on the above from a transmission signal, and prohibiting the estimation operation when the level of a residual signal after the subtraction exceeds a reference value. In the echo canceling method, the prohibition operation is performed only when the change in the ratio of the level of the transmission signal to the level of the reception signal is not negative.
