Abstract:
A model network of a nonlinear circuitry includes one or more static nonlinear elements and a plurality of linear filters with transfer functions. A method for determining the model network includes performing an input amplitude-to-output amplitude measurement of the nonlinear circuitry and performing an input amplitude-to-output phase measurement of the nonlinear circuitry. The transfer functions are calculated on the basis of results of the input amplitude-to-output amplitude measurement and input amplitude-to-output phase measurement.
Abstract:
A method for creating a form of a non-linear filter suitable for reducing a computational complexity is proposed. The filter is resolved into polyphase components in such a way that the polyphase components can be interchanged with a conversion of the sampling rate of a signal to be sent to the filter or of a signal to be emitted by the filter. Corresponding filters and filter arrangements are also proposed. In this way, a computational complexity for calculating the signal to be emitted by the filter can be significantly simplified. The invention can be used in echo compensation.
Abstract:
In order to improve the speech quality of an electric larynx (EL) speaker, the speech signal of which is digitized by suitable means, the following steps are carried out: a) dividing a single-channel speech signal into a series of frequency channels by transferring it from a time domain into a discrete frequence domain; b) filtering out the modulation frequency of the EL by way of a high-pass or notch filter, in each frequency channel; and c) back-transforming the filtered speech signal from the frequency domain into the time domain and combining it into a single-channel output signal.
Abstract:
An electrical network having a nonlinear transfer response is approximated with a system with memory. The system with memory being approximated in the frequency domain and subsequently being expanded in the time domain. A transfer response of the system being approximated to a transfer response of the electrical network in a range of a system bandwidth corresponding to an input signal bandwidth. The resulting model has adjustable parameters and can readily be implemented in the form of a dynamically linear filter and a static nonlinearity (B2) connected thereto.
Abstract:
An arrangement for a time interleaved analog-to-digital converter that converts an signal to a digital signal and has a converter array with a plurality of analog-to-digital converters arranged in a fixed sequence in parallel with one another and can be operated with staggered timing with respect to one another is disclosed. The arrangement has a connection network which, for the purposes of actuation with staggered timing, generates in each case one control signal for an individual analog-to-digital converter in each case, with the connection network predefining the time sequence with which the control signals actuate the individual analog-to-digital converters in such a way that owing to this sequence of the control signals and thus the sequence of the actuated individual analog-to-digital converters there is at least a reduction in an interference spectrum in the spectrum of the input and/or output signal. A sorting method for operating this analog-to-digital converter is also disclosed.
