Abstract

Speech presence is detected by first bandpass filtering () the speech to split it into banks of sub-bands. A matrix of shift registers () store each sub-band of speech. A power determining circuit () then determines individual power measurements of the speech stored in each shift register element. A variance combining circuit () combines the individual power measurements to provide a variance for the individual shift registers. A comparator circuit () finally compares the variance with at least one threshold to indicate whether speech is detected.
