Abstract

There are different ways to perform noise reduction in the time domain. The simplest way, perhaps, is to estimate a sample of the desired signal at a time by applying a filtering vector to the observation signal vector. This approach is investigated in this chapter and many well-known optimal filtering vectors are derived. We start by explaining the single-channel signal model for noise reduction in the time domain.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In this work, we consider the uncorrelated interference as part of the noise in the definitions of the performance measures.

  2. 2.

    Very often in the literature, authors use \(1/\upsilon_{{\rm sd}}\left({\mathbf{h}} \right)\) as a measure of the SNR improvement. This is wrong! Obviously, we can define whatever we want, but in this is case we need to be careful to compare “apples with apples.” For example, it is not appropriate to compare \(1/\upsilon_{{\rm sd}} \left({\mathbf{h}} \right) \hbox{ to } \hbox{iSNR}\) and only \(\hbox{oSNR} \left({\mathbf{h}} \right)\) makes sense to compare to iSNR.
