    摘要: A mobile radiotelephone (120) includes a microcomputer (220), speakerphone control circuitry (106) and mobile radio (112). In the transmit voice path, speakerphone control circuitry (106) includes switch (201), variable gain amplifier (202), compressor amplifier (203), switch (204), variable gain amplifier (205), and two registers (212-213). In the receive voice path, speakerphone control circuitry (106) includes variable gain amplifier (232), expander amplifier (233), switch (234), variable gain amplifier (235), switch (236) and two registers (216-217). Speakerphone control circuitry (106) also includes rectifier/filter (224), a companding analog-to-digital (A/D) converter (225), two latches (218-219), rectifier/filter (226) and two registers (214-215). Microcomputer (220) accesses registers (212-217) by means of a data bus (222) including address, control and data lines. Microcomputer (220) utilizes digital samples from A/D converter (225) to dynamically detect acoustic feedback and to continuously generate and store in its memory an envelope signal and a valley signal for the transmit and receive voice paths for controlling voice path gain switching. In order to determine when to switch gain between the voice paths, microcomputer (220) compares the envelope signal to the valley signal to detect the presence of voice signals and, if the voice signals are detected for a pre-selected time, the gain of the path in which voice signals have been detected is increased and the gain of the other path is decreased.

    摘要: Speech signals from a plurality of channels are interpolated in a TASI system for transmission via a lesser plurality of transmission facilities, such as telephone tie-lines which carry analog voice frequency signals. Recurrently, the level of noise received via each facility is measured at a receiver of the system while the facility is idle. An average of the monitored noise levels for all facilities, which is recurrently updated, is used to control the level of a noise signal which is supplied by the receiver to each off-hook channel for which speech signals are not being received via the facilities.

    摘要: In this incoming audio detection circuit for a speaker telephone, an impedance element is connected between the output of the microphone amplifier and the telephone line terminals. Speech signals present at each end of the impedance element are respectively rectified but not filtered. The resultant rectified but unfiltered signals are compared. If only outgoing speech is present, the rectified signal derived from the microphone amplifier end of the impendance element will be of greater magnitude than, and will have a greater phase angle extent than the rectified signal derived from the telephone line end of the impedance element. A comparator senses this condition and maintains the speaker telephone in the outgoing audio mode. In the presence of incoming speech, instants will occur when the magnitude of the rectified signal derived from the telephone line exceeds that of the rectified signal derived from the microphone amplifier. In response to this condition, the comparator causes the speaker telephone immediately to switch to the mode in which incoming speech is reproduced by a loudspeaker.

    摘要: A hands free answer feature is provided in a key telephone system which includes an intercom lead pair for providing intercommunication between key telephone station sets and a signalling path for providing audible signals via a loudspeaker circuit in the key telephone station sets. The hands free intercom feature is provided by the addition of a hybrid circuit including first and second unidirectional signal paths for coupling a.c. signals between the intercom lead pair and the signalling lead. A d.c. control signal having first and second d.c. signal states is generated on the signalling lead in response to a ratio of amplitudes of signals in the first and second signal paths being greater or lesser than a predetermined ratio. The loudspeaker circuits each include a receive signal path connected to a loudspeaker. A transmit path and path switching circuitry are added to the loudspeaker circuit. The path switching circuitry is responsive to the first and second states of the d.c. control signal to alternately activate one and the other of the transmit and receive signal paths whereby the hands free answer intercom feature is provided.

    摘要: The loop current (I.sub.X) of a telephone set speech network (1) is automatically initialized at a desired level independent of the central office voltage applied to the input terminals (12, 13) of the set and thus independent of transmission line loop length and other variables. For this purpose, a variable conductance device (20), sush as a Darlington driver (Q1), is connected between the input terminals and the speech network so as to establish a loop current at a circuit node (N1) that is a function of the supply voltage and the conductivity of the device. The loop current is monitored, as by a Schmitt trigger circuit (30), and the conductance of the device (20) is varied accordingly so as to initialize the loop current at the desired level, as by selectively connecting a plurality of resistors (R2 . . . R7) individually and collectively between a base node (26) of the driver (Q1) and the ring lead (17) of the set.

    摘要: This hands-free telephone prevents acoustic feedback between its speaker and microphone by attenuating either the transmission or receive path under the control of a corresponding pair of counters (computers), each counter sensing the signal divided and digitized from its corresponding path. An increase in counted pulses indicates feedback and causes a counter to more quickly reach a predetermined counter state (count), to trigger attenuation (damping) before it can be reset (restored) to zero by the other counter.

    摘要: An apparatus for controlling the generation of sound in the loudspeakers of intercommunicating telephone sets in response to pulse-code modulated speech signals from the microphones of the telephone sets. A digital comparator compares speech signals received from each microphone and delivers a binary control signal to a dividing circuit through which the speech signal having the highest maximum value passes. The dividing circuit responds to the control signal by dividing the speech signal by a desired factor. A loudspeaker, contained in the same telephone set as the microphone from which the speech signal having the highest maximum value emanated, is in circuit with a control unit. The same binary control signal causes the control unit to suppress the generation of sound in the loudspeaker.

    摘要: A handsfree telephone set uses a single transducer as microphone and speaker. A switching arrangement senses and compares the relative strength between received and transmit signals, and switches signal paths accordingly. By sensing the input of the receive path versus the output of the transmit path, the detectors are thus asymmetrically coupled, to provide a break-in capability from one side (the telephone central or calling party) only.
