专利汇可以提供Noise spectrum equalizer专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且Apparatus for noise spectrum equalization of applied spectrum samples to enhance detection of periodic signals embedded in noise. Equalization is achieved with apparatus which repetitively searches for and detects strong periodic signals within the total signal spectrum and subsequently disregards the detected signals in computing an equalizing signal representative of background noise. The applied power spectrum is divided by the equalizing signal to obtain an equalized, flat, spectrum of zero mean, yet of unchanged signal levels relative to noise variance. The use of iterative detection of strong periodic signals in computing the equalizing signal results in noise spectrum equalization apparatus that is insensitive to the unwanted effects of strong periodic signals.,下面是Noise spectrum equalizer专利的具体信息内容。
