Design and Implementation of Real Time Noise Cancellation System based on Spectral Subtraction Method

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a real-time digital signal noise cancellation system is designed based on Spectral Subtraction Method. The system cancels the noise in frequency domain by estimating the noise energy spectral from a noisy input. Since that method is performed in frequency domain with polar form, a time to frequency domain and rectangular to polar transformer with each of their complement circuits are needed to perform the noise cancellation operation. Considering high speed computation with lower system frequency for a real-time processing and low power consumption, an FPGA based full-hardware implementation is used in proposed system. As a result, the proposed noise cancellation system implementation result is able to perform a real time noise cancellation with the SNR value of 71 dB and use about 47,000 FPGA logic elements with 32 bits data resolution.
