    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for localizing and tracking acoustic sources (101) in a multi-source environment, comprising the steps of recording audio-signals (103) of at least one acoustic source (101) with at least two recording means (104, 105), creating a two- or multi-channel recording signal, partitioning said recording signal into frames of predefined length (N), calculating for each frame a cross-correlation function as a function of discrete time-lag values (τ) for channel pairs (106, 107) of the recording signal, evaluating the cross-correlation function by calculating a sampling function depending on a pitch parameter (f0) and at least one spatial parameter (φ0), the sampling function assigning a value to every point of a multidimensional space being spanned by the pitch-parameter and the spatial parameters, and identifying peaks in said multidimensional space with respective acoustic sources in the multi-source environment.

    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 apparatus for noise suppression having a linear prediction analysis circuit having an LP error filter (LFF), which takes a first, noisy voice signal y(n)=x(n)+ε(n) as a basis for producing an LP-error-filter output signal e(n), having a coefficient calculation unit (KBE), which updates the coefficients of the LP error filter on the basis of the internal signals (including the input and out signals y(n) and e(n)) in the LP error filter, and having a subtraction unit, which subtracts the LP error filter output signal e(n) from the first voice signal y(n) in a subtractor and, following the subtraction, outputs the remainder as a second voice signal x(n)=y(n)−e(n) in which the noise is suppressed. A noise estimation unit (GSE) is provided which takes the internal signals of the LP error filter as a basis for producing a noise power signal σn2 and a voice power signal σx2, these signals are applied to the coefficient calculation unit (KBE) and said signals are used by the latter for the purpose of optimizing the noise suppression.

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.
