Abstract
Abstract The suppression of speaker noise caused by data signaling in a mobile radio system is achieved by detecting the presence of a single audio tone frequency over a time period and when the presence of such a tone is detected causing muting of the speaker of the mobile radio receiver.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A receiver system responsive to a carrier wave modulated by either voice audio intelligence signals or data audio tone intelligence signals at a given frequency within the voice band of frequencies for detecting said audio signals at a detector and providing the output thereof to an audio speaker wherein said data signals cause highly objectional noise in the output of said speaker, the improvement therewith comprising: means for normally coupling the output from said detector to said speaker, and timed means including a clipper, a bandpass filter, an AC/DC converter and a timer coupled between said audio detector and said audio speaker responsive to the presence of a tone of said given frequency over a given time period for disconnecting said normally coupling means and thereby muting said speaker only during the presence of said tone.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A receiver system responsive to a carrier wave modulated by either voice audio intelligence signals or data audio tone intelligence signals at a given frequency within the voice band of frequencies for detecting said audio signals at a detector and providing the output thereof to an audio speaker wherein said data signals cause highly objectional noise in the output of said speaker, the improvement therewith comprising: means for normally coupling the output from said detector to said speaker, and timed means including a clipper, a bandpass filter, an AC/DC converter and a timer coupled between said audio detector and said audio speaker responsive to the presence of a tone of said given frequency over a given time period for disconnecting said normally coupling means and thereby muting said speaker only during the presence of said tone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The combinatin claimed in claim 1 wherein said bandpass filter is centered at said given audio frequency of said data signals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The combination claimed in claim 2 wherein said time period is of sufficient length beyond 50 milliseconds to distinguish said data signal from a voice signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The combination claimed in claim 3 wherein said timed means includes an attenuator preceding the bandpass filter to limit the amplitude of the input signal to the bandpass filter.
