Flexible voice capture front-end for headsets
A signal processing device for configurable voice activity detection. A plurality of inputs receive respective microphone signals. A microphone signal router configurably routes the microphone signals. At least one voice activity detection module receives a pair of microphone signals from the router, and produces a respective output indicating whether speech or noise has been detected by the voice activity detection module in the respective pair of microphone signals. A voice activity decision module receives the output of the voice activity detection module(s) and determines whether voice activity exists in the microphone signals. A spatial noise reduction module receives microphone signals from the microphone signal router, and performs adaptive beamforming based in part upon the output of the voice activity decision module, and outputs a spatial noise reduced output. The device permits simple configurability to deliver spatial noise reduction for one of a wide variety of headset form factors.
