  • Patent number: 9226065
    Abstract: An interpolation circuit for interpolating a first and a second microphone signal and for generating an interpolated microphone signal includes a first input (100) for receiving the first microphone signal (am), a second input (101) for receiving the second microphone signal (am+1), an output (102) for outputting the interpolated microphone signal (s), a control input (103) for receiving a control signal (r), and a first circuit branch (104) including first (105) and second (106) inputs coupled to the first (100) and the second (101) input, respectively, of the interpolation circuit, and an output (107) coupled to the output (102) of the interpolation circuit, wherein the first circuit branch is provided with a means (108) for power-specific summing of the signals supplied to the first and second inputs of the first circuit branch and for outputting a power-specific summation signal at the output (107) of the first circuit branch (104).
