Abstract

A method for suppressing impulse noises is provided. The method is employed to receive a sample stream x[n], and to detect and suppress the interruption of impulse noise to the samples, wherein the sample stream x[n] includes a plurality of samples and n represents a discrete-time independent variable. The method includes comparing the energy sum of a (k−1)th sample and a kth sample multiplied by a first constant with a first threshold, comparing energy sum of the kth sample and a (k+1)th sample multiplied by a second constant with a second threshold while the energy sum of the (k−1)th sample and the kth sample multiplied by the first constant is greater than the first threshold, and replacing the kth sample with a first replacement sample to output while the energy sum of the kth sample and the (k+1)th sample multiplied by the second constant is greater than the second threshold.
