Multiple input-multiple output adaptive feedback control strategies for the active headrest system: design and real-time implementation

摘要

In this article, multiple input-multiple output adaptive feedback control techniques for acoustic noise control in a headrest system are developed. The main goal underlying their design is to provide acoustic comfort to the user, i.e. high noise attenuation level over possibly large areas at the ears. Classical Internal Model Control system does not yield acceptable performance. An approach based on estimates of the residual noise at the ears is then proposed. It is shown that increase in the number of secondary sources to operate for one channel improves the performance. The experiments of tonal noise control are performed on an originally set-up prototype of the active headrest system. The results obtained are illustrated in the promoted form of distribution of zones of quiet.
