Abstract
Voice activity is detected by comparing an analog signal with two voltage thresholds and producing data representing the energy of the signal. The data, in binary form, is compared with thresholds to determine voice activity. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the thresholds are adjusted based upon statistical information. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the data can be weighted to provide an indication of the quasi-RMS energy of an input signal. The input signal itself is not converted into digital form yet the data derived from the input signal has high resolution.
