A signal processing device includes: a speaker amplifier for amplifying a
reception voice; a reception voice attenuator for attenuating the
reception voice inputted to the speaker amplifier during a voice
transmission mode; a reception voice detection circuit for detecting the
reception voice outputted from the speaker amplifier; a microphone
amplifier for amplifying a transmission voice inputted to a microphone; a
transmission voice attenuator for attenuating the transmission voice
outputted by the microphone amplifier during a voice reception mode; a
transmission voice detection circuit for detecting the transmission voice
outputted by the microphone amplifier; and a discriminator for
discriminating the mode to be operated among the voice transmission mode
and the voice reception mode on the basis of detection outputs from the
reception voice detection circuit and the transmission voice detection
circuit.
