    Abstract: Squelch circuit responsive to the periodicity of a voice signal for controlling the output of a radio receiver to provide transmission of speech and reject noise. The audio signal from the receiver is amplitude limited and the transitions in the limited wave control a bistable multivibrator having first and second out-of-phase outputs. The outputs are used to activate circuits which produce voltage samples proportional to the time period between zero crossings, with the alternate periods producing voltages across two capacitors. The difference between the successive voltage samples is derived and compared with a reference voltage to provide a control voltage. The control voltage, which is produced as long as the difference between the samples is less than the reference, is applied to a gate circuit which controls the charging of a squelch control capacitor. A control voltage which continues through a plurality of samples causes the voltage across the squelch control capacitor to raise to a level which operates a squelch switch to allow transmission of the audio signal.

    Abstract: An audio frequency squelch circuit responsive to a signal including voice signals in the presence of noise includes a limiter for receiving the signal and a monostable multivibrator coupled to the limiter and triggered by negative (or positive) transitions in the limiter output. The multivibrator produces pulses of fixed amplitude and time duration to provide an output wave having a duty cycle which varies with frequency. The pulse wave is passed through a low pass filter having a bandwidth sufficiently wide to allow coherent variations in frequency at a voice syllabic rate, and which removes random noise inputs, with opposite phases being applied to high pass filters which reject signals varying slowly in frequency. The opposite phase signals are applied separately to comparators operating against a fixed voltage reference, one of which provides an output in response to voice frequency peaks which are sufficiently above the mean frequency and the other provides an output in response to voice frequency peaks which are sufficiently below the mean frequency. The comparator outputs are applied to an OR gate which controls an integrator and timer to actuate the squelch. In an alternate embodiment, the multivibrator output is applied to the short time constant, low pass filter, as in the prior embodiment, and also to a long time constant, low pass filter, the output of which is proportional to the mean audio frequency and provides a floating voltage reference. The floating reference is shifted in positive and negative directions, and the two resulting, level shifted, floating references are each applied to a comparator, to which the output of the short time constant filter is also applied. The two comparators provide outputs in response to the voice frequency peaks which are sufficiently above and below the mean frequency, and signals varying slowly in frequency are removed by common mode rejection in the comparators. The two comparator outputs are applied to an OR gate which controls an integrator and timer to actuate the squelch, as in the prior embodiment.

    Abstract: An improved FM communication system is disclosed in which noise bursts and pops in the audio output of the receiver, due to weak and Rayleigh-faded signals, are minimized by selectively attenuating the audio signal in the receiver. The amount and rate of attenuation for the receiver noise reduction circuits is determined by a control signal derived form either the average discriminator noise at frequencies above 3 kHz, or from a received RF signal strength indicator, or a combination of both. The audio output is attenuated during weak signals or Rayleigh fades only when the attenuation control signal increases above a predetermined signal-to-noise ratio threshold. Also described are further improvements to noise attenuation devices used in combination with the receiver noise reduction circuits to enhance audio quality in particular applications, e.g., FM repeater systems which may incorporate multiple transmitters in a simulcast configuration.
