Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht auf ein Mobilfunkgerät mit mindestens zwei Mikrophonen (M1, ...,MN). Diese dienen zur Lieferung von aus Sprach- und Störsignalanteilen (s1, ..., sN, n1, ..., nN) bestehenden Mikrophonsignalen (x1, ..., xN) an Mikrophonsignalzweige, die mit den Eingängen einer zur Bildung eines Summensignals (x) dienenden Addiervorrichtung (5) gekoppelt sind.The invention relates to a mobile device with at least two microphones (M 1 , ..., M N ). These serve for the delivery of voice and interference signal components (s 1 , ..., s N , n 1 , ..., n N ) existing microphone signals (x 1 , ..., x N ) to microphone signal branches, with the Inputs of an adder (5) serving to form a sum signal (x) are coupled.

Es wird vorgeschlagen, in den Mikrophonsignalzweigen Mittel (3) zur Gewichtung der Mikrophonsignale (x1, ..., xN) mit auf einfache Weise zu berechnenden Gewichtsfaktoren (c1, ..., cN) vorzusehen, um das Signal/Rausch-Verhältnis (SNR) des Summensignals (x) zu erhöhen.It is proposed to provide in the microphone signal branches means (3) for weighting the microphone signals (x 1 ,..., X N ) with weight factors (c 1 ,..., C N ) to be calculated in a simple manner in order to obtain the signal / Noise ratio (SNR) of the sum signal (x) increase.

Die Sprachverarbeitungsvorrichtung wird vorzugsweise in eine Freisprecheinrichtung des Mobilfunkgeräts integriert.
