    摘要: A communication device (102) has a loudspeaker (212) that includes a loudspeaker coil. The loudspeaker is used for playing audio signals and for detecting metal in the vicinity of the loudspeaker. To detect metal the communication device includes a pulse generation circuit (216) for generating pulses that are applied to the loudspeaker, and a pulse measurement circuit (222) for measuring response pulses. If the response pulses indicate metal is in proximity to the loudspeaker, an alert is generated to inform the user of the communication device.
