Comparative Performance Analysis of Filtered-xLMS and Feedback ANC Adaptive Algorithms to Control the Attenuation of Acoustic Noise

摘要

This paper presents the comparative performance analysis of two adaptive algorithms to control the attenuation of acoustic noise. Active noise control (ANC) is one of the most popular applications for adaptive filters. The basic idea behind the active control of acoustic noise is to inject a secondary sound (anti-noise) into an environment so as to cancel the primary sound using destructive interference. So, ANC is a method of reducing the unwanted noise by actively generating an anti-noise, cancelling out the noise. To achieve this objective, throughout this paper, I describe two well-known filtered-x least Mean Square (filtered-x LMS) and feedback active noise control algorithms which provide a new structure for improving acoustic noise reduction. Finally, from the simulation results, it is obvious that the proposed adaptive algorithms can effectively control the acoustic narrowband noise from the corrupted speech signal.
