ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting a wideband tone, having a nominal frequency but occurring anywhere within a wide range of frequencies, includes a step of bandpass filtering input data. The bandpass-filtered data is used to predict a value of the input data using an algorithm such as least-mean-squares (LMS) adaptive linear prediction. An error signal is provided as a difference between the actual and predicted values of the input data. By computing the power in the error signal, the presence or absence of a tone can be detected, because a tone causes a smaller prediction error and power than other, non-tone processes such as white noise. A high-to-low transition in power represents a start of a tone, whereas a low-to-high transition in power represents an end of a tone. A tone flag signal is provided in response to a predetermined relationship between two power computations, such as a low-to-high transition.
