Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1202253A2] The method involves adopting a definable initializing noise level estimate, determining further estimate values from the minimum of the maximum value of an input signal (x(k)) sampled at preferably equidistant intervals over a short period, adopting the value if the input signal dynamic variation is below a definable threshold (epsilon) and adopting the value as the new noise level estimate n(x) if the dynamic variations exceed a threshold. Independent claims are also included for: a processor unit for supporting the method; and a programmable gate-array unit for supporting the method.
