    摘要: An apparatus, comprising: an audio input for receiving an input audio signal; an tuning input for receiving a tuning signal; a filter chain comprising a plurality of filters for filtering the audio signal to produce a filtered input audio signal, the filter chain comprising: a first filter module operating at a first sampling rate; and a second filter module operating at a second sampling rate greater than the first sampling rate, wherein a phase response of the first filter module is dependent on the tuning input and wherein a magnitude response of the first filter module is substantially independent of the tuning input.

    摘要: At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a method and device for voice operated control with learning. The method can include measuring a first sound received from a first microphone, measuring a second sound received from a second microphone, detecting a spoken voice based on an analysis of measurements taken at the first and second microphone, learning from the analysis when the user is speaking and a speaking level in noisy environments, training a decision unit from the learning to be robust to a detection of the spoken voice in the noisy environments, mixing the first sound and the second sound to produce a mixed signal, and controlling the production of the mixed signal based on the learning of one or more aspects of the spoken voice and ambient sounds in the noisy environments.

    摘要: A device and method for correcting in-phase and quadrature phase (IQ) baseband components to drive a speaker is provided. The device: controls a local oscillator of an RF downmixing device to a plurality of baseband frequency offsets over a range that includes a given baseband frequency offset; determines, at the plurality of baseband frequency offsets, for a received RF signal, amplitude ratio error and phase error for respective IQ baseband components of the received RF signal; generates, using the amplitude ratio error and the phase error for the respective IQ baseband components, for the given offset, filter coefficients for a given baseband frequency range which compensates for respective amplitude ratio error and respective phase error for the given baseband frequency range; and filters, with the filter coefficients, IQ baseband components of the received RF signal, with the local oscillator operating at the given offset, to generate corrected IQ baseband components.

    摘要: A method for designing a line array loudspeaker arrangement comprises providing a loudspeaker arrangement based on design start parameters and including at least a vertical front array and measuring the frequency responses of the loudspeaker arrangement with bypassed or omitted electronic filters at predefined horizontal angle increments. The method further comprises computing combined beam forming and crossover filter frequency responses for the vertical front array based on the measured frequency responses of the loudspeaker arrangement and first target frequency responses at various frequency points and various positions; and computing combined equalizing and crossover filter frequency responses for the vertical front array based on second target frequency responses, the combined equalizing and crossover filter frequency responses being configured to obtain acoustic linear phase responses of the loudspeaker arrangement.

    摘要: Provided is a preamplifying circuit, including a first amplifier and a second amplifier sequentially connected in series, wherein an output end of the second amplifier is connected to a circuit output end, and an input end of the first amplifier is connected to a circuit input end. The preamplifying circuit further includes a positive feedback branch including a diode group and a third amplifier, wherein one end of the diode group is connected to the input end of the first amplifier. The positive feedback circuit can positively feed part of signals back to the other end of the diode group, so that voltage drops at two ends of the diode group can be reduced, and harmonic distortion caused by nonlinearity of the diode group is reduced. Thus, the sound quality detected by a microphone sensor is improved.
