Frequency domain method to estimate the coefficients of feedback control filter for active noise control systems

[摘要] References(8)Cited-By(1)In this paper, we propose a method for repeatedly updating the coefficients of the feedback control filter used for canceling a feedback path from a loudspeaker to a noise detection microphone. The coefficients are usually estimated by feeding a sequence of extra noise to the loudspeaker. However, feeding such extra noise under active noise control is undesirable. The proposed method estimates the coefficients without feeding the extra noise. Concretely the proposed method provides two independent equations using the estimation errors involved in the coefficients of the noise control filter and then estimates the coefficients by solving those equations. One problem is that the feedback component is extremely small in comparison with the primary noise incident on the noise detection microphone. In this case, estimation of the coefficients is difficult. In this work. we solves this problem by estimating first the primary noise and then the feedback path.
