Fxlms Algorithm

Active noise control (ANC) techniques for a three-dimensional enclosure are compared in terms of two control structures and two control algorithms. The multiple-channel filtered-x least-mean-square (FXLMS) algorithm and the H∞ robust control algorithm are employed for controller synthesis. Both feedforward and feedback control structures are compared. The Youla’s parameterization is employed in the formulation of the multiple-channel feedback FXLMS algorithm. The algorithms are implemented using a floating-point digital signal processor (DSP). Experiments are carried out to validate the ANC approaches for attenuation of the internal field in a rectangular wooden box. Position and number of actuators and sensors are also investigated. A broadband random noise and an engine noise are chosen as the primary noises in the experiments. The experimental results indicate that the feedforward structure yields a broader band of attenuation than the feedback structure. The FXLMS control and H∞, control achieve comparable performance.

Spatial Sound Reproduction

This paper seeks to enhance the quality of spatial sound reproduction by integrating two advanced signal processing technologies, active noise control (ANC) and three-dimensional (3D) audio, to a headset. The ANC module of the headset is designed based on the quantitative feedback theory (QFT), which is a unified theory that emphasizes the use of feedback for achieving the desired system performance tolerances in the face of plant uncertainties and plant disturbances. Performance, stability, and robustness of the closed-loop system have been taken into account in the loop-shaping procedure within a general framework of the QFT. On the other hand, 3D audio processing algorithms including the head-related-transfer-function and the reverberator are realized on the platform of a fixed-point digital signal processor. Listening tests were conducted to evaluate the proposed system in terms of various subjective performance indices. The experimental results revealed that the 3D headset is capable of delivering superior rendering quality of localization and spaciousness, with the aid of the ANC module.

Axial Fans

Fans are widely used in industry for heat dissipation or airflow production. It is achieved by driving a motor of fan to rotate a number of blades. Most industrial fans can be categorized into one of two general types: centrifugal fans and axial fans. However, fan noise is loud when the motor speed is high. This article develops using active noise control (ANC) system to reduce noise from both centrifugal and axial fans. By integrating loudspeakers and microphones, we present multiple-channel feedback ANC structure with the filtered-X least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm to simultaneously reduce noise from the inlet and the outlet of the fans. Several realtime experiments verify that the proposed method and experimental setup not only reduces the narrowband noise but also achieves the global cancellation of the fan noise.

An enhanced multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm using improved virtual secondary path is proposed as the basis for an active noise control (ANC) system for treating vehicle powertrain noise. This new algorithm is developed to overcome the limitation caused by the frequency-dependent property of the standard FXLMS algorithm and to reduce the variation of convergence speed inherent in multiple-channel cases, in order to improve the overall performance of the control system. In this study, the convergence property of the proposed algorithm is analyzed in the frequency domain in order to yield a better understanding of the physical meaning of the virtual secondary path. In practice, because of the arrangement and sensitivities of the actuators (speakers), transducers (microphones), and physical environment, the magnitude response of the main secondary paths can be very different from each other. This difference will cause difficulty in the overall convergence of the algorithm, which will result in minimal attenuation at some of the channels. The proposed channel equalized (CE) virtual secondary path algorithm is designed to tackle this difficulty by equalizing the mean magnitude level of the main secondary paths and by adjusting other secondary paths correspondingly to keep the coupling effects among the control channels unchanged. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated by analyzing a two-input two-output active powertrain noise control system.

Control of impulsive noise is one important challenge for the practical implementation of active noise control (ANC) systems. The advantages and disadvantages of popular filtered-X least mean square (FXLMS) ANC algorithm and nonlinear filtered-X least mean M-estimate (FXLMM) algorithm are discussed in this paper. A new modified FXLMM algorithm is also proposed to achieve better performance in controlling impulsive noise. Computer simulations are carried out for all the three algorithms and the results are presented and analyzed. The results show that the FXLMM and modified FXLMM algorithms are more robust in suppressing the adverse effect of sudden large amplitude impulses than FXLMS algorithm. In particular, the proposed modified FXLMM algorithm can achieve better stability without sacrificing the performance of residual noise when encountering impulses.

Narrowband Noise

Noise in a dynamic system is practically unavoidable. Today, such noise is commonly reduced using an active noise control (ANC) system with the filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm. However, the performance of the ANC system with FXLMS algorithm is significantly impaired in nonlinear systems. Therefore, this paper develops an efficient nonlinear adaptive feedback neural controller (NAFNC) to eliminate narrowband noise for both linear and nonlinear ANC systems. The proposed controller is implemented to update its coefficients without prior offline training by neural network. Hence, the proposed method has rapid convergence rate as confirmed by simulation results. The proposed work also analyzes the stability and convergence of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A hybrid active noise control (ANC) scheme for suppressing duct noise based on the H∞ control synthesis is proposed. The controllers are designed in terms of performance, stability, and robustness using a general framework of the H∞ robust control theory. In addition to the fixed controller, the system is further enhanced by introducing an adaptive compensator based on the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm. Youla parameterization is employed in designing the adaptive compensator so that the resulting system is stable. Experimental investigations demonstrate that the proposed methods are effective in suppressing broadband random noise in a finite-length duct.

Research on nonlinear active noise control (NANC) revolves around the investigation of the sources of nonlinearity as well as the performance and computational load of the nonlinear algorithms. The nonlinear sources could originate from the noise process, primary and secondary propagation paths, and actuators consisting of loudspeaker, microphone or amplifier. Several NANCs including Volterra filtered-x least mean square (VFXLMS), bilinear filtered-x least mean square (BFXLMS), and filtered-s least mean square (FSLMS) have been utilized to overcome these nonlinearities effects. However, the relative performance and computational complexities of these algorithm in comparison to FXLMS algorithm have not been carefully studied. In this paper, systematic comparisons of the FXLMS against the nonlinear algorithms are evaluated in overcoming various nonlinearity sources. The evaluation of the algorithms performance is standardized in terms of the normalized mean square error while the computational complexity is calculated based on the number of multiplications and additions in a single iteration. Computer simulations show that the performance of the FXLMS is more than 80% of the most effective nonlinear algorithm for each type of nonlinearity sources at the fraction of computational load. The simulation results also suggest that it is more advantageous to use FXLMS for practical implementation of NANC.

Based on the closed-form solution of a one-dimensional wave equation, the primary, secondary and acoustic feedback paths for the active control of sound in an acoustic duct have been investigated. Accurate models for the condenser microphone and loudspeaker, which include both the electro-mechanical and mechano-acoustical couplings as well as acoustical damping, have been considered. A generalized form of the filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm that uses a more general recursive adaptive weight update equation to improve the performance of the FXLMS algorithm has been developed. Computer simulations were carried out to investigate the performance of acoustical feedback and feedback neutralization as well as the effect of boundary conditions on the performance of active noise control (ANC) systems. Comparisons of the simulation results were carried out.
