%
% PORTED TO MATLAB FROM LPC-55 C RELEASE
% 3-14-94
%
% ******************************************************************
%
% DESCRIPTION
%
% Removes the short-term DC bias from a segment of speech by
% averaging samples in the current analysis window.
%
% DESIGN NOTES
%
% See:  Version 52 release notes.
%
% VARIABLES
%
% INPUTS
%   len      -   Length of input speech segment (biased speech)
%   speech   -   Buffer of input samples
%
% OUTPUTS
%   sigout   -   Buffer of output speech (unbiased speech)
%
% INTERNAL
%   bias     -   Computed estimate of short-term DC bias
%
% ******************************************************************

function sigout = dcbias( len, speech )

% COMPUTE SHORT-TERM DC BIAS
bias = mean( speech );

% SUBTRACT FROM SPEECH AND RETURN
sigout = speech - bias;
