    Abstract: A processing unit for processing a multi-channel audio signal has a delay element (40) for delaying an FM sum signal (sum) and a converter arrangement (T) for converting an FM difference signal (diff) and a noise signal (diffnoise) to the frequency domain. Frequency-based noise suppression is used to derive a de-noised frequency-domain difference signal using a gain function which is limited to a maximal and a minimal value. This is then converted to the time domain, and the first and second audio signals are calculated from a delayed sum signal (sum2) and the de-noised time domain difference signal (diff2).

    Abstract: FM and AM receivers in car environments require a noise blanker circuit or method to reduce the audible disturbances generated by impulse noise, such as ignition noise, in the audio signal. The invention proposes a combination of time-domain and frequency-domain processing to reduce the audible distortion. The time-domain processing interpolates the signal during the impulse noise bursts, and the frequency-domain processing disperses the remaining signal distortion over time, or relocates it to positions in time where it is attenuated by a windowing technique.

    Abstract: There is disclosed an audio playback system including a loudspeaker, a microphone and a means for implementing a method of detecting a fault which includes the generation and analysis of a specific ultrasound reference signal. The presence of the ultrasound reference signal can be detected on the microphone signal, and the signal-to-noise ratio can be estimated during the reference signal playback so that the volume of the reference signal can be adapted if necessary. The reference signal is a multi-sinusoidal signal which, when averaged over time increases the expected signal-to-noise ratio, and hence, the power of the detector.

    Abstract: A signal processor and method of signal processing for a radio receiver is described. An input signal is received together with a spectral repetition interval value of an interferer signal. An interference reference signal is generated from the received spectral repetition interval value and the received signal. The received signal is adapted using the generated interference reference signal.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for aligning cross-faded audio signals using beats. In an embodiment, a controller includes a cross-fade module having at least first and second audio inputs and an audio output port to provide an audio output signal to an external audio reproduction system. A control signal determines whether to provide the first or the second audio signal to the audio output, and the cross-fade module cross-fades the audio output signal from one audio signal to the other audio signal. A beat alignment module determines a delay between a first beat of the first audio signal and a second beat of the second audio signal, and a delay module delays either the first or the second audio signal to compensate for the delay into the cross-fade module.

    Abstract: In one example, a communications circuit processes an amplitude modulated signal by using a first circuit having signal paths to process an amplitude modulated signal as represented by an in-phase component and by a quadrature component, and by using a second circuit to discern random noise pulses from the quadrature component of the amplitude modulated signal. In response, the second circuit generates an estimate of overall noise representing the random noise pulses in the amplitude modulated signal. In the above and more specific examples, the random noise pulses may appear as pulses which overlap with, in terms of time and bandwidth of frequency spectrum, information of the amplitude modulated signal, and the first and second circuits may be part of an RF radio receiving the amplitude modulated signal from an antenna.
