Abstract

A method for detecting a tone signal includes determining a correlative value of an input signal obtained for each frame of a predetermined length, determining an estimating expression that represents an output power of a second order FIR band elimination filter that uses the correlative value of the input signal as an input and a frequency thereof as a parameter, determining a frequency at which a minimum value of the estimating expression is obtained, determining a prediction gain of the FIR band elimination filter at the determined frequency, and determining that the input signal is a tone signal if a value of the determined prediction gain exceeds a preset threshold value.
