Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for improvement the intelligibility of speech-containing audio signals according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- the aim of the present invention is speech intelligibility a relatively good audio signal with unchanged Improve volume. This means equal intelligibility at a lower volume or improved intelligibility with ambient noise.
- US 5,553,151 describes a so-called “forward masking ".
- weak consonants are replaced by the previous ones strong vowels covered over time.
- This release beats a relatively fast compressor with an “attack time” of approx. 10 msec. and a “release time “from approx. 75 to 150 msec.
- the aim of the present invention is therefore a circuit arrangement to improve the speech quality of audio signals to indicate that on the one hand requires little effort and on the other hand, the language still sounds natural.
- the invention is essentially based on the audio signal amplify to a predetermined factor and in a high pass to filter, the corner frequency of the high pass being regulated that the amplitude of the audio signal after the processing route equal to or proportional to the amplitude of the audio signal is at the entrance of the processing line.
- the fundamental wave of the speech signal which contributes relatively little to intelligibility, but possesses the greatest energy, is weakened and the usual Signal spectrum of the audio signal increased accordingly become.
- the whole Signal raised by a factor g. This factor controls the strength of the effect of signal enhancement, being meaningful Values for the factor g are between 1.5 and 4.
- an "offset" can be added to the input signal, which is either fixed or proportional to the peak amplitude of the audio signal on the input side.
- the cut-off frequency f c of the variable high-pass filter has a lower limit, since the lowest frequency for speech is approx. A range of approximately 100 to 120 Hz has proven useful for a lower corner frequency.
- the circuit arrangement has a variable high-pass filter 20 whose corner frequency f c can be changed.
- the variable high-pass filter 20 has a control input 21, to which a control signal for changing the corner frequency f c can be applied.
- the audio signal to be improved is preferably supplied to this variable high pass 20 via a low pass 10.
- an input terminal 1 is provided for applying the audio signal.
- the low pass 10 does not have to be provided, but is advantageous in order to eliminate signal interference in the audio signal.
- At the output of the variable high pass 20 there is an amplifier stage 30 which amplifies the output signal of the variable high pass 20 by a factor g. This factor g is adjustable and is preferably between about 1.5 and 4. A gain factor that has been set is preferably no longer changed.
- the entire processing line consisting of variable high-pass filter 20 and amplifier 30 as well as optional low-pass filter 10 has an output terminal 2, at which the processed audio signal can be tapped as an output signal.
- the corner frequency f c of the variable high-pass filter 20 is regulated in the following manner in order to improve the intelligibility of speech within the audio signal. If the amplitude (or also energy) of the input signal at input 1 of the circuit arrangement is greater than the amplitude (or energy) at output 2 of the transmission link, then the basic frequency f c is reduced. Incidentally, increased. If the amplitudes at input 1 and output 2 are the same or proportional to a predetermined factor, there is no further change in the base frequency f c .
- FIG downstream integrator which is preceded by a scaling factor Ki is provided.
- the output terminal of the integrator 40 is connected to the control input 21 of the variable high pass 20 Connection.
- the comparator 36 has two input terminals 34, 35 on, at the first terminal 34 the input signal and on whose terminal 35 the output signal of the transmission link is created.
- the circuit arrangement of FIG. 3 differs from the circuit arrangement of FIG. 2 in that the integrator 40 is replaced by a digital circuit arrangement 60.
- the basic frequency f c is increased or decreased by a step d in accordance with the output signal of the comparator 36, depending on whether the output signal xc at the output of the comparator 36 is greater or less than 0.
- the circuit arrangement works as follows: A vowel is low-frequency with a large amplitude. In contrast, a consonant is high-frequency with a small amplitude.
- the amplification factor g is set such that an amplification of 6 dB is achieved.
- the corner frequency of the variable high-pass filter 20 has been adjusted to this low frequency by the low-frequency vowel.
- the fundamental wave is so far lowered that the output amplitude is the same as the input amplitude of the audio signal, although the gain of 6 dB has been selected.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention from FIG. 1 operates as follows.
- the high pass filter 20 has tuned to the frequency of the consonant.
- the amplitude of the input signal corresponds to the amplitude of the output signal. If a vowel follows (low frequency), the relatively high cut-off frequency f c of the high-pass filter 20 attenuates the vowel during the time transition and consequently does not cover the consonant. Only after a few milliseconds, the base frequency f c is adjusted based on the control time of the control loop so that the amplitude of the input signal corresponds to the amplitude of the output signal.
- each channel can receive its own control as described above or you can use a common control.
- the audio path (high pass, low pass, gain) is calculated separately for left and right, but the high passes have the same corner frequency f c .
