A hybrid active noise controller for finite ducts

摘要

A hybrid active noise controller (ANC) is proposed to solve some existing problems, which are related to the non-minimum phase (NMP) path models between uncollocated sensors and actuators in many ANC systems. For hybrid ANC schemes, the NMP path causes design difficulties to both feedforward and feedback control. These problems can be solved effectively by adding an extra actuator in the ANC system. A new design procedure is presented to take the greatest advantage of the extra actuator. Theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented to show the improved performance of the proposed ANC.
