Abstract

See full text

The invention provides an adaptive noise cancelling apparatus which operates to overcome a problem encountered in conventional noise cancelling circuitry when the signal-to-noise ratio at the sensor array is high--to wit, that the target signal is degraded, leading to poorer intelligibility. An apparatus constructed in accord with the invention selectively inhibits the adaptive filter from changing its filter values in these instances and, thereby, prevents it from generating a noise-approximating signal that will degrade the target component of the output signal.
