Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the suppression of essentially periodic interference signals and in particular to a method and an apparatus for the suppression of periodic interference in the audio frequency range, which is caused, for example, by a digital telecommunication system during data transmission and in e.g. a mobile telecommunications terminal or an external device such as a hearing aid can be coupled.
- a mobile telecommunications terminal such as B. a mobile phone and an associated base station via a pulsed radio frequency signal with a predetermined carrier frequency.
- the carrier frequency is 900 MHz and a pulse frequency is approximately 217 Hz.
- the carrier frequency is 1800 MHz and the associated pulse frequency is 100 Hz.
- the DCSl800 standard which also works at a carrier frequency of 1800 MHz.
- a large number of carrier frequencies with different pulse frequencies are therefore used in digital telecommunications systems, which is why the terminal device manufacturers are increasingly developing so-called dual-band or triple-band terminals for implementing the various standards.
- the pulsed high-frequency signal in particular often causes problems here.
- the pulsed high-frequency signal is, for example, by the non-linear FET characteristic in the terminal existing microphones demodulates and sometimes causes clearly perceptible interference in the audio frequency range.
- Figure 1 shows a simplified temporal representation of a periodically disturbed signal, such as that at the output of a signal source disturbed by a pulsed high-frequency signal, e.g. is output to a microphone.
- FIG. 2 shows a simplified time representation of the associated pulsed high-frequency signal or periodic interference signal, as occurs, for example, in GSM or DECT telecommunication systems.
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communications
- DECT DECT telecommunication systems
- high-frequency pulses are transmitted at a time interval T of approximately 4.7 milliseconds, which contain the actual information.
- this time interval T is 10 milliseconds and corresponds to a frequency of 100 Hz in contrast to 217 Hz in GSM.
- These periodic interference signals can now be found in a printed circuit board and in particular on a signal source such as e.g. a microphone can be introduced, resulting in the spikes shown in Figure 1.
- Conventional devices and methods for suppressing these periodic interference signals are essentially based on shielding the radio radiation by, for example, a conductive shield housing of the signal source or a conductive microphone housing. Please note that the housing is closed as completely as possible. An optimal effect is usually achieved with a metallic shield. However, the effort for such a shield is particularly important for devices such as a mobile telecommunication terminal and / or a hearing aid is expensive and also space-intensive.
- Interference suppression capacitors are usually used here, which are attached spatially close to the field effect transistor (FET) of the microphone in order to attenuate the periodic high-frequency interference signal as much as possible.
- FET field effect transistor
- the selection of the capacitor is particularly critical here, since the influence of parasitic inductances increases sharply at high frequencies.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method and a device for suppressing essentially periodic interference signals, a simplified and improved interference suppression being made possible.
- a signal corresponding to the interfering signal can be determined in a particularly simple manner, a subtraction of the signal corresponding to the interfering signal subsequently being carried out from the disturbed input signal resulting in a very well suppressed input signal.
- Such a method is easy to implement and, moreover, requires very little computing power, with no delays in the input signal, such as an audio signal.
- the input signal is preferably temporarily stored as a digitized signal over a large number of period durations, as a result of which a superposition depending on the period duration can be implemented very easily.
- the signal corresponding to the interference signal is preferably determined by averaging over a predetermined or changing number of periods, which is easily possible when implemented in software.
- the input signal can be superimposed with different weighting factors and, in particular, a moving averaging can be used, as a result of which a particularly high-quality interference signal suppression is obtained.
- the weighting factors can be determined as a function of the input signal, which results in a further qualitative improvement in the interference suppression, regardless of a respective input signal level or ratio to the interference signal.
- a division is preferably used for the standardization, although further standardization methods are also conceivable in principle in order to convert the superimposed input signal back into its original amplitude range.
- the period duration can also be determined from the disturbed input signal, in particular an autocorrelation of a section of the disturbed input signal for determining value maxima and then the period duration being determined from a time interval between the value maxima. In this way, even unknown periodic interference signals can be automatically detected and suppressed. In the same way, interference signals can be detected and suppressed that only have a substantially uniform period and can therefore have slight fluctuations.
- the method does not use a directly disturbed input signal, but rather an error signal that is dependent on it, for interference suppression, with a signal analysis being carried out on the basis of a disturbed useful signal for outputting the error signal and associated coefficients, and then on the basis for recovering a suppressed useful signal an interference-cleared error signal and the coefficients, a signal synthesis is carried out.
- FIR filtering for outputting a prediction error signal and associated predictor coefficients on the basis of a speech signal is preferably carried out, and in signal synthesis, IIR filtering for recovering the interference-free useful signal on the basis of an interference-free prediction error signal and the predictor coefficients.
- the speech estimators used in any case in speech coding in digital telecommunication systems can advantageously be used to further suppress the periodic interference signals.
- such elements known from speech coding or speech estimation can also be used in external devices, such as hearing aids, whereby further miniaturization in particular with further interference suppression compared to the periodic interference signals generated by digital transmission systems.
- a linear prediction and in particular a short-term prediction is preferably carried out in a time range from 20 to 400 milliseconds.
- Such linear short-term predictors enable the generation of sufficiently precise error signals and coefficients for further signal processing.
- the so-called Levinson-Durbin algorithm is particularly suitable for determining the respective coefficients, since this is usually used in particular in mobile end devices for speech coding and is therefore available in any case.
- the subtraction is preferably carried out as a function of a signal energy of the disturbed input signal and the suppressed input signal.
- interference signals of this type which do not have an interference signal in every frame or after each period T, but rather, for example, skip a period.
- Such an irregular lack of interference signals within the period is often implied by the telecommunication standards used, so that such a lack of interference signals does not cause an undesired deterioration in interference suppression.
- the method for suppressing periodic interference signals is preferably carried out during a speech pause of the disturbed input signal, step b) in particular, in which the signal corresponding to the interference signal is determined, should take place during a speech pause.
- This has the advantage that To determine the signal corresponding to the interference signal, it can be averaged over a comparatively short period of time since the useful data portion is missing in a speech pause.
- the main advantage is that comb filter effects can be effectively avoided.
- a speech pause can be determined on the basis of an energy in a current period of the input signal.
- a speech pause can be determined on the basis of a maximum value in a current period of the input signal.
- Useful signal basically an energy in a current period and also a maximum value in a current period can be expected to be rather high.
- a noise-reduced input signal can also be used as the input signal, this procedure having the advantage that it is easier to distinguish between the presence and absence of a speech pause, especially in cases where the useful signal is of low intensity.
- the device provided for carrying out the method has a suitable memory for the earlier values of the signal corresponding to the interference signal.

- FIG. 3 shows a simplified block diagram of a system configuration in which the interference suppression device according to the invention can be used, for example.
- M denotes a signal source or a microphone for converting an acoustic speech signal into an electrical speech signal or useful signal.
- an actual voice useful signal N can be superimposed with an interference signal S, for example via the printed circuit board or via radio radiation, resulting in a disturbed input signal E.
- Such a superimposition of a useful signal with a periodic interference signal is generally known, the hum caused by the power network being a typical example.
- such interference can, however, also be used in digital telecommunication devices or in the immediate vicinity of these devices happen, in which case the periodic interference signal is caused by the data transmission between the mobile telecommunication terminal and the associated base station.
- the known measures described at the outset can be carried out, such as, for example, providing a shield for the signal source M and / or providing an interference signal pre-filter, which usually has an interference suppression capacitor and also for reducing the periodic interference signal in the disturbed input signal E is suitable.
- the initially analog disturbed input signal is converted by an A / D converter W into a digitized disturbed input signal E and then fed to the actual interference signal suppression device U, which is subtracted from the disturbed input signal E by a signal S ⁇ corresponding to the interference signal Interference-suppressed input signal E ⁇ is generated, which is transmitted, for example, via an air interface I or is fed back via a listening path R to implement a necessary echo to a receiver loudspeaker, not shown.
- FIG. 4 shows a simplified block diagram of the interference signal suppression device U according to FIG. 3.
- the digitized, disturbed input signal E output by the converter W which is composed of the useful signal N and the periodic interference signal S, is supplied to a period duration determination unit 1, for example. which determines a period T of the interference signal S.
- the period duration T of the interference signal S can be identified in this way in different ways.
- signal maxima are preferably determined by means of autocorrelation in a section of the input signal E or a disturbed audio signal (e.g. shortly after the telephone connection has been set up or in occasional intervals during the call) and from the time intervals between the signal maxima
- Autocorrelation function directly determines the period T of the interference signal S. Such a period duration determination can therefore take place once or at predetermined intervals.
- the period duration can alternatively also be determined directly between two maximum values of the interference signal or the disturbed input signal, as a result of which the period duration T is determined in a particularly simple manner.
- the period duration determination unit 1 can also be implemented by a period duration preparation unit, not shown, which outputs the period duration T, for example, when an existing periodic interference signal is known.
- a multiple superimposition of the input signal E and a subsequent normalization of the multiply superimposed input signal are carried out in the interference signal determination unit 2 as a function of the period T of the periodic interference signal S, as shown in FIG.
- a multiple superimposition of the input signal E is consequently carried out at a time interval of the period T, as a result of which the interference signals located at the same point are increasingly amplified and the statistically distributed useful signal or audio signal N is increasingly canceled.
- a standardization which for example corresponds to a division according to the number of superimpositions speaks, one in turn receives a signal S ⁇ corresponding to the disturbed input signal E, which is essentially the same as the interference signal S in the input signal.
- an interference-cleared input signal E is obtained which essentially corresponds to the useful or audio signal N.
- the periodic interference signal is preferably averaged over a number of phases or frames. Since averaging over an infinitely long period of time is not possible, for example, averaging takes place over a predetermined or changing finite number of periods or period durations T. To improve the quality of interference suppression carried out, the introduction of so-called weighting factors has proven to be useful, whereby periods further in the past are to be weighted weaker than a current period in order to obtain a weighted average.
- a moving averaging is preferably carried out in the
- Interference signal determination unit 2 carried out according to the following scheme:
- Average n ax Average n - ⁇ + (1 - a) x Average current ⁇
- n describes the number of the respective periods or frames and a describes a weighting factor.
- the weighting factor a can be fixed between 0 and 1.
- the following values result for a weighting factor of a 0.8 and a moving averaging over 2 period durations T:
- the mean value gives a signal S which corresponds very well to the interference signal S and which can subsequently be subtracted from the input signal.
- this weighting factor a i.e. to make the system adaptive. It makes sense to average over a longer period of time if the interference signal is overlaid, for example, by a speaker.
- the weighting factor a can be chosen to be large depending on the input signal or depending on its signal level (volume).
- the weighting factor a is chosen to be smaller. In this case, the current phase or the frame or period of the interference signal is weighted more heavily.
- This signal ascertained in the interference signal determination unit 2 or the unweighted mean value S ⁇ is then subtracted from the input signal (audio signal) in the current frame or the current period duration, as a result of which the interference signal S can be greatly reduced. If the mean value contains the entire portion of the periodic interference signal, this is even completely calculated out of the input signal.
- the quality of the interference suppression device can also be improved by subtraction as a function of a signal energy of the disturbed input signal and the suppressed input signal E.
- the subtractor 3 is expanded by the following estimate:
- FIG. 5 shows a simplified time representation of the signal S determined by the interference signal determination unit 2, which essentially corresponds to the interference signal S and is subtracted from the input signal according to FIG. 1.
- the input signal is preferably not in the form of a digitized signal over a plurality of period durations T in one
- the buffer store shown is stored, so that further processing and in particular the superimposition or averaging described above can be implemented particularly easily.
- the method described above was applied directly to the input signal E or the audio signal data according to the first exemplary embodiment. In the same way, however, it can also be applied to error signals or residual signals, such as occur, for example, in speech estimation.
- FIG. 6 shows a simplified block diagram of a subsystem with the interference suppression device according to a second exemplary embodiment.
- x * ⁇ (k) x * (k).
- the device for suppressing periodic interference signals in accordance with the second exemplary embodiment essentially consists of a signal analyzer SA for outputting an error signal E (k) and associated coefficients ai on the basis of the disturbed useful signal or an impaired electrical voice signal.
- the interference signal suppression device U described above On the basis of the error signal E (k) output by the signal analyzer SA, the interference signal suppression device U described above now generates an interference-free error signal E ⁇ (k) with reduced periodic interference signals, which is forwarded to a signal synthesizer SS.
- the signal synthesizer SS carries out signal synthesis on the basis of the interference-free error signal E ⁇ (k) and the coefficients ai generated by the signal analyzer SA in order to recover an interference-free useful signal x * (k) or x * (k).
- the useful signal quality of the suppressed useful signal x * (k) can therefore be further improved.
- the interference suppression device U is preferably used in a mobile telecommunication terminal, e.g. a mobile phone, the elements shown in FIG. 6 already being present, at least in part, for realizing speech coding.
- so-called speech encoders are used in particular in wireless telecommunication systems, which improve signal quality and immunity to interference, taking into account the human reception possibilities.
- FIR filters finite impulse response
- IIR filters for outputting a prediction error signal and associated predictor coefficients are generated on the basis of an applied speech signal as so-called speech estimators.
- the signal analyzer SA can now use such an FIR filter to output a prediction error signal E (k) and associated predictor coefficients ai on the basis of the perturbed speech signal x (k).
- the method used by the interference suppression device U is now not applied directly to the input signal E or the audio signal, but rather to an associated error signal or residual signal.
- a linear predictor can be used to carry out a linear prediction as a signal analyzer SA, a short-term prediction preferably being carried out in a time range from 20 to 400 milliseconds.
- a short-term prediction preferably being carried out in a time range from 20 to 400 milliseconds.
- Such linear short-term predicators, the so-called Levinson-Durbin algorithm preferably being used to calculate the predictor coefficients ai are again generally known in speech coding, which is why a detailed description is not given below.
- the signal analyzer SA accordingly generates a disturbed error signal E (k) and associated coefficients a ⁇ , which do not contain a disturbance.
- a high-pass filter 4 can also be used on the input side according to FIG. 6 for additional high-pass filtering of the disturbed useful signal x (k) and for generating a filtered but still disturbed useful signal x ⁇ (k).
- a so-called Preenfasys filter is used as HP filter 4, which leads to a further improvement in connection with the signal analyzers used from speech coding.
- a TP filter 5 can optionally also be used on the output side for low-pass filtering of the suppressed useful signal x * ⁇ (k), which finally outputs the suppressed useful signal x * (k).
- Such a TP filter usually consists of a so-called Deenfasys filter.
- the known interference suppression pre-filters and a shielding of the signal source M can optionally be added to the interference signal suppression device according to FIG. 6, which means that inexpensive electret microphones are now used.
- the interference suppression capacitors would be directly on the connection pins the signal source or the microphone M to attach.
- a speech pause detection device ⁇ is provided, at the input of which the disturbed input signal E is present.
- the speech pause detection device determines whether there is a speech pause at a current time frame / a current period T of the disturbed input signal E or whether useful voice signals are being transmitted.
- the speech pause detection device 6 is connected via a control line 7 to the interference signal determination unit 2, so that the interference signal determination unit 2 is constantly informed as to whether or not there is a speech pause.
- the disturbed input signal E is also present at the interference signal determination unit 2.
- An update of the mean value formed by the interference signal determination unit in the manner described above now only takes place when the speech pause detection device 6 indicates the presence of a speech pause via the control line 7.
- the features on the basis of which the speech pause detection device 6 determines the presence of a speech pause include Ren, for example, a maximum signal value in a current period T or the total energy of the disturbed input signal E within a period T. Also, a comparison between current waveforms of the disturbed input signal E compared to previous waveforms from previous periods can be used to determine whether such a deviation between the Waveforms exist that a pause in speech can be concluded.
- the detection within a speech pause has the advantage that the signal S ⁇ can be determined more quickly with sufficient quality, since fewer averaging steps are required. Also Comb filter effects avoided.
- the fourth exemplary embodiment of the invention differs from the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7 in that the speech pause detection device 6 has a further input at which the input signal E is present with reduced interference.
- the signal S ⁇ corresponding to the interference signal S is fed to a second subtractor 8, at the input of which the disturbed input signal is present and at whose output there is a noise-reduced signal which is fed to the speech pause detection device ⁇ .
- the noise-reduced input signal present at the second input of the speech pause detection device 6 is based on an average value for the signal S with respect to its noise reduction, which is due to previous time periods T compared to the currently disturbed input signal E.
- the interference signal S is exposed to very strong intensity fluctuations or is not present over a period of time, it is more favorable to carry out the detection of speech pauses solely on the basis of the disturbed input signal E.
- a fifth exemplary embodiment of the invention illustrated with reference to FIG. 9 is based in principle on the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7.
- the speech pause detection device 6 is connected via a control line 8 to a memory 9 which contains previous values for the signal S ⁇ .
- the speech pause detection device 6 is faulty due to a transition from a speech pause to a speech transmission period works, can be used with the help of the memory 9 to the earlier values for the signal S ⁇ corresponding to the interference signal S.
- a more favorable value for the signal S ⁇ supplied to the subtractor 3 can subsequently be found by exchanging incorrect values, for S ⁇ which are obtained by averaging, by earlier values originating from a speech pause.
- Copied memory 9 wherein the presence of uniqueness for a speech pause is conveyed via the signal line 8.
- the previous values are copied via a signal line 11 to the interference signal determination unit 2 for the exchange of incorrect values, which have arisen, for example, from a transition from a speech pause to a speech transmission period.
- the device according to the invention and the associated method are not integrated into a system generating the periodic interference signal, but rather are implemented as an external device.
- Such external devices can represent so-called hearing aids, in particular, since they are usually used in the immediate vicinity of a respective mobile telecommunication terminal and are therefore particularly exposed to the coupling of periodic interference signals described above.
- the interference signal suppression device described above with direct or indirect application to the input signal is consequently implemented in a hearing aid device which, for example, includes a behind-the-ear device (BTE), an in-the-ear device (ITE) In the channel device (complete in the canal, CIC), a pocket device, a headset, headphones and / or an implant can be shown.
- BTE behind-the-ear device
- ITE in-the-ear device
- CIC complete in the canal
- a pocket device a headset
- headphones and / or an implant can be shown.
- the invention has been described above using periodic interference signals in the GSM and DECT telecommunication system. However, it is not limited to this and likewise includes periodic interference signals that are generated by other wireless, wired telecommunication systems or other systems. In the same way, the invention is not limited to mobile telecommunication terminals and hearing aids, but in the same way also includes other devices that are particularly exposed to such periodic interference signals.
