Abstract:
A method and apparatus for generating a noise reduced output signal from sound received by a first and second microphone arranged as a microphone array. The method includes transforming sound received by the first microphone into a first input signal and sound received by a second microphone into a second input signal and calculating, for each of the frequency components, a weighted sum of at least two intermediate signals calculated from the input signals by means of complex valued transfer functions and real valued Equalizer functions. The method includes a weighing function with range between zero and one, with quotients of signal energies of the intermediate functions as arguments of the weighing function, and generating the noise reduced output signal based on the weighted sum of the intermediate functions and based on the weighted sum of the first and second intermediate function at each of the frequency components.
