An Effective Method for Active Noise Control

Abstract

By introducing an “antinoise” wave through secondary sources the active noise control (ANC) is achieved. Through an electronic system, the secondary sources are connected using a specific signal processing algorithm for the particular cancellation method. In this paper, we propose a method which is combination of both Feed-forward and Feedback active noise control systems called Hybrid active noise control (H-ANC) method. This method uses lower order filters and also reduces distortion generated by the feedback ANC. So this method is relatively more stable than feedback ANC. The Computation requirements for Hybrid ANC would be high and real-time implementations during one cycle. The algorithm generate the inverse waveform of the signal by collecting the noise information and update the filter coefficients effectively.
