摘要： An apparatus and method for calibrating gain difference between microphones included in a microphone array are provided. In the gain calibrating apparatus, weights for each frequency component of the acoustic signals, which have been converted into the signals in the frequency domain are calculated. The weights are used to calibrate the acoustic signals such that the plurality of acoustic signals each have the same amplitude while the acoustic signals maintain their individual phase. The amplitudes of the acoustic signals are calibrated by use of the calculated weights. The gain calibrating apparatus calibrates gain in real time while calculating weights for frequency components of the frame of acoustic signals in real time.
