Abstract

In this paper, we present the design method of noise reduction circuit in telephonic system. The circuit consists of compressor, expander and a filter. The basic idea of a proposed method compresses the audible signal in order to mask the channel noise during transmission and then expand at the reverse rate the transmitted signal to naturally recover the original signal. Of course, there should be no distortion or other degradation of the audio itself in passing through companding(compress/expand) cycle. In the compressing process, the gain of compressor is automatically controlled by the envelope level of input signal in order to increase the effective dynamic range of input signal and to improve the signal to noise ratio. The compressed rate is the root time of a audible signal. The compressed signal should be expanded at the square time of the signal to recover a original signal. Simulation shows the proposed method improves the performance of the noise reduction of a channel noise as well as stability. 

본 논문에서는 무선전화 시스템의 잡음제거 방법을 제안한다. 구현회로는 압축기(Compressor), 신장기(Expender) 및 필터로 구성된다. 제안방법의 기본개념은 채널잡음을 방지하기 위해 전송전에 음성신호를 압축(Compress)하여 전송하고 원래의 신호를 복원하기 위해 전송신호의 역 비율로 신장(Expand)한다. 압축과 신장과정을 통해서 음성신호의 감쇠나 왜곡은 일어나지 않는다. 압축과정에서 압축기의 이득은 입력신호의 유효 다이나믹 영역과 신호대 잡음 비를 향상시키기 위해 음성신호의 포락선 레벨에 따라 자동적으로 제어된다. 압축비율은 음성신호의 제곱근(Root) 배로 압축한다. 압축된 신호는 신장기에서 음성신호의 제곱이 되게 신장하여 원래의 신호를 복원한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 방법의 성능과 안정성을 검증하였다.
