摘要： A method for the estimation of the transfer function of a transmission channel in a receiving system of UMTS type envisages the computation of a plurality of channel coefficients, included among known channel coefficients corresponding to pilot symbols, through the reiteration of an interpolation algorithm, capable of calculating an intermediate point (Z, f(Z)) between a first extreme and a second extreme of a determined interval, the first extreme being formed by at least two known points and the second extreme being formed by at least one known point, the intermediate point to be calculated having as abscissa (Z) the abscissa value of the mean point between the points defining the interval rounded off to the integer closest to the first extreme, and having as ordinate (F(Z)) the arithmetic average between the ordinate of the known point of the second extreme and the ordinate of a point, chosen between the two known points of the first extreme, having a distance from the intermediate point equal to the distance between the intermediate point and the known point of the second extreme.

摘要： A filter such as a Wiener filter for noise reduction in a signal, such as a speech signal, affected by background noise includes a circuit for determining values of an update function relating new value of estimated noise power to a previous value of estimated noise power, the update function being a function of said previous estimated noise power and a mean input power spectral density. The circuit includes a look-up table having values for the update function stored therein with the previous value of estimated noise power and the mean input power spectral density as a first and a second search entry, respectively. These search entries are entered via an input module and exploited by search circuitry associated with the look-up table for selectively searching values for the update function in the look-up table. The search is preferably carried out on the basis of an index computed starting from said first and second search entries.
