hi: We all know that DSM is good because it's abaility to push Q noise to higher frequency band. My question is does DSM only work for Q noise? What about if the data already corrupted by noise? therefore would DSM work if the noise is the combination of background and quantization noise.? I have done some matlab coding(first order) on it and it works a bit but i dont know if it's because of the lowpass filter or the DSM. My project is trying to apply the DSM to clean noise of a corrupted voice file. Any Help will be great~!!!! Cheers Leaf

You can't separate them if you can't distinguish them. You can recognize quantization noise because you just made it yourself.

Leaf, As others have stated, this is not feasible. The reason is this: the key to a delta sigma modulator is a feedback loop in which the quantized signal (noise signal) can be compared to the non-noise signal. In your scenario you don't have the non-noise signal to build a loop around. --Randy

(a bit like digital remastering) Thanks Leaf

(a bit like digital remastering)Leaf, Use "noise cancellation." Adobe's "Audition," a tool for audio processing, has a noise canceller. Do a search using these keywords, and good luck. -- % Randy Yates % "So now it's getting late, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % and those who hesitate %%% 919-577-9882 % got no one..." %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % 'Waterfall', *Face The Music*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr
