Overview

DSP Concepts proprietary Single-Channel Noise Reduction. Version 1.

Discussion

DSP Concepts proprietary Single-Channel Noise Reduction module. This module works in conjunction with the WOLA filterbank modules. The module has a mono input pin and mono output pin. The input pin is mic input signal and output pin is stationary noise-suppressed signal.

The module operates on any block size and any sampling rate. There is no design time parameters. At run time, you specify the minimum gain. The minimum gain is a lower clipping point of gain in dB for each frequency bin.

The module estimates SNR and determins attenuation of each frequency from gain table.
