Research abstract
Intelligent Automation Inc (IAI) is teaming with Data Design Corporation of Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Dr. Robert Nickel of Bucknell University to propose an innovative portable medical recorder to be used on the battlefield. This team represents strengths and years of experience in both hardware development and speech signal processing. A combination of hardware and software design elements will provide superior noise cancellation functionality for this device. Noise cancellation features will be included in the hardware front end, in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic, as well as in algorithms that run on a Digital Signal processor. From our analysis of noise reduction techniques, we are confident that a combination of a beamforming microphone array, adaptive noise cancellation algorithms, and voice enhancement algorithms will achieve the requirement of audibility for this medical recorder. The use of the latest FPGA technology provides a high speed platform for signal processing algorithms while keeping development costs low.
