The
7.4.2.1 VMR Algorithm
The VMR algorithm works by passing the audio through a series of bandpass filters that are spaced throughout the speech frequency spectrum. The outputs of these filters are then examined for signals with speech characteristics. If speech is detected, the audio path is enabled and the LED is lit. The VMR threshold is set by SW1 switches 3 & 4. This threshold is not volume related; it specifies how stringent the VMR algorithm is when deciding whether a signal contains speech. The correct setting will depend on many aspects of the incoming signal and the requirements of the user. A lower threshold setting increases the likelihood that a signal, which is comparable to speech, but does not actually contain speech, will be passed through. A higher threshold will eliminate these false detections, but will increase the possibility that a signal, which contains speech that is strongly masked by noise, will not be detected.. The default setting should be good for most signals.
The audio output is delayed, allowing speech to be detected before audio arrives, so that no syllables are missed. SW1 switches 7 & 8 set the duration of the delay. There is also an adjustable
7.4.2.2 Noise Reduction Algorithm
The noise reduction algorithm operates by passing the audio through an adaptive FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter. The filter forms instantaneous bandpass filters around the relatively correlated information contained in speech, these filters are not created around
