Abstract
Reliable detection of a microphone failure along with corrective action are provided for a portable communication device having multiple microphones. The faulty microphone detection uses a correlation based metric between three (3) or more microphones. The approach is based on full cross correlation, including phase as well as magnitude, between unique microphone pairs for isolating a faulty microphone condition. The approach allows for the determination of precisely which microphone has failed and minimizes false triggers under windy conditions within a microphone array.
