Patent ID: 8792543

Claim:
A method for impulse noise mitigation, comprising: setting a cut-off frequency of each of a first high pass filter and a second high pass filter to bound a frequency bandwidth of a desired signal, wherein: the first high pass filter allows frequencies higher than the frequency bandwidth of the desired signal; and the second high pass filter allows frequencies lower than the frequency bandwidth of the desired signal; determining a mean magnitude for a first signal response of the first high pass filter and for a second signal response of the second high pass filter; selecting the first high pass filter for impulse noise mitigation when the mean magnitude for the second signal response of the second high pass filter is greater than the mean magnitude for the first signal response of the first high pass filter; and selecting the second high pass filter for impulse noise mitigation when the mean magnitude for the first signal response of the first high pass filter is greater than the mean magnitude for the second signal response of the second high pass filter.
