Telephone System for Diver Communication.

Abstract

The report describes a telephone system for use by divers employing demand breathing apparatus. Sounds picked up by each diver's microphone are processed by selective filtering, amplification, rectification and comparison to a reference voltage level to provide logic signals representative of presence or absence of inhalation noise that could mask voice transmissions of other divers or of a tender. The microphone output to listening stations is switched through an attenuation path by the logic signal representing inhalation noise and through a by-pass or full strength path by the other logic signal.
