  • Publication number: 20170063473
    Abstract: An apparatus for eliminating impulse interference includes an impulse interference detecting unit, an impulse interference eliminating unit and a control unit. The impulse interference detecting unit detects whether impulse interference exists in an input signal according to a predetermined condition, and generates an impulse interference eliminating request when having detected that the input signal satisfies the predetermined condition. In response to the impulse interference eliminating request, the impulse interference eliminating unit performs an impulse interference eliminating process on the input signal to generate an output signal. According to an output signal quality index associated with the output signal, the control unit selectively adjusts the predetermined condition used for detecting whether the impulse interference exists.
