Method and apparatus for measuring the noise content of transmitted speech

摘要

A noise filter technique estimates noise in speech that has been processed by Call Multiplication Equipment. The received signal has speech frames and interspersed fill-noise frames inserted at a satellite signal receiving station. The filtering technique removes the fill-noise from the signal. The remaining speech frames are analyzed such that the speech frames having the lowest power values are used to create a histogram of power/frequency. This histogram contains information from which the noise-in-speech power spectrum is derived.
