Abstract
A receiver suppresses noise simultaneously using a noise suppressor and an automatic gain controller (AGC). The receiver divides a received signal into an audio period and a non-audio period, analyzes whether the noise characteristic of the non-audio period corresponds to a non-static noise or a static noise, and if the noise characteristic corresponds to the static noise, analyzes whether the static noise is caused by a network or a transmitter side terminal. In accordance with the analyzed noise characteristic, the noise suppressor firstly suppresses the noise by determining the noise suppressing intensity, and sends a signal, from which the noise has been firstly suppressed, to the AGC. The AGC secondly suppresses the noise included in the signal. In this case, the threshold value of the AGC is controlled in real time in accordance with the noise characteristic. Also, since the noise level is lowered by the first noise suppressing, the threshold value of the AGC can be set to a lower value, and thus a swing phenomenon and a radiotelegraph phenomenon can be reduced.
