Abstract: |
A method of reducing undesired components from a signal that includes a desired component and undesirable components utilizes an autoregressive model technique. An autoregressive module determines a power spectral density approximation of the signal. An error component of the power spectral density approximation includes the desired component. Portions of the error component having frequencies outside of the expected range of the desired component preferably are filtered so that the result is the desired component with the undesired component removed. The invention is useful, for example, for reducing undesirable noise components from sound signals.

First Claim:

What is claimed is:
1. A method of removing an undesirable component from a signal also containing a desired component, comprising the steps of:
- (a) capturing a signal having a desired component and an undesirable component;
- (b) determining a power spectral density approximation of the captured signal;
- (c) separating an error component out from the power spectral density approximation of step (b); and
- (d) determining the desired component from the error component of step (c), wherein step (d) includes filtering the error component of step (c) to remove undesirable components having a frequency that exceeds a preselected maximum from the error component.
