ABSTRACT:
A speech activity detection circuit and method are described in which a digitized sample of the analog speech signal in a communications system is taken n times in a period of time t. The magnitude M of each sample is calculated and the largest value of M which is encountered over a given period t is stored as a peak magnitude M(t). This value is compared to a value M(t-1) which is the smallest value of M(t) from prior periods. The lesser of the two values is stored as the new value for M(t-1). The process is continued for i periods and at the end of the i.sup.th period, the value M(t-1) is multipled by a constant k and the product is stored as the threshold value for the next i periods of time t.
