Abstract

In a glass break detector, noise is removed by averaging the signal before it is analyzed for the characteristics that typically accompany glass breaking events. Low frequency signals, associated with glass flexing before it shatters, are isolated from repetitive or symmetrical noise in the same frequency range to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the detector, improving sensitivity to valid glass breaking events and reducing false alarms.
