Discriminating between stationary and non-stationary signals

摘要

A discriminator discriminates between stationary and non-stationary signals. The energy E(Ti) of the input signal is calculated in a number of windows Ti. These energy values are stored in a buffer, and from these stored values a test variable VT is calculated. This test variable comprises the ratio between the maximum energy value and the minimum energy value in the buffer. Finally, the test variable is tested against a stationarity limit gamma . If the test variable exceeds this limit the input signal is considered non-stationary. This discrimination is especially useful for discriminating between stationary and non-stationary background sounds in a mobile radio communication system.
