ABSTRACT:
A voice-band receive amplifier for telephone handsets that mitigates loud sidetone and acoustic sing. A receive channel (30) with amplification and voice-switched attenuation is disposed between a receive port of a telephone network (80) at terminals (1a), (1b), and an electro-acoustic receiver (20). A transmit channel (70) having voice-switched attenuation that varies inversely with the receive channel attenuation is disposed between a transmit port of the telephone network at terminals (2a), (2b), and an acousto-electrical microphone (10). A controller (60) with an output lead connecting to the transmit and receive channels has an input lead connecting to the microphone, and an input lead connecting to the receiver. The controller provides a varying DC control signal at its output lead in response to varying levels of transmit and receive signals appearing at the input of the controller. Receive signals are attenuated when transmit levels are at or above a predetermined threshold. The receive channel is also attenuated when receive levels are at or above a predetermined receive threshold, providing compression of high receive levels. The attenuation in each channel is characterized by having more attenuation at high-end voice-band frequencies than at lower frequencies.
