Abstract

A system and method for detecting cell phone noise induced in telecommunication equipment, especially in microphones and other unshielded electronic units connected to a communication terminal. A noise detector is configured to execute a so-called “cepstrum” transform of a captured signal exposed to cell phone noise. Due to the characteristics of cell phone radio signals using TDMA, cell phone induced can then easily be detected from the cepstrum transform as peaks at known samples, and noise elimination or attenuation may then be executed on the captured signal when cell phone noise is detected.
