description The squelch problem of ultra-short wave communication under non-stationary noise and low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in a complex electromagnetic environment is still challenging. To alleviate the problem, we proposed a squelch algorithm for ultra-short wave communication based on a deep neural network and the traditional energy decision method. The proposed algorithm first predicts the speech existence probability using a three-layer Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) with the speech banding spectrum as the feature. Then it gets the final squelch result by combining the strength of the signal energy and the speech existence probability. Multiple simulations and experiments are done to verify the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. We simulate the algorithm in three situations: the typical Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM) in the ultra-short wave communication under different SNR environments, the non-stationary burst-like noise environments, and the real received signal of the ultra-short wave radio. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the traditional squelch methods in all the simulations and experiments. In particular, the false alarm rate of the proposed squelch algorithm for non-stationary burst-like noise is significantly lower than that of traditional squelch methods.
