Active noise control (ANC) is a method of reducing the unwanted sound.

Development of a State-Space Observer for Active Noise Control Systems
description Active noise control (ANC) is a method of reducing the unwanted sound. This is realized by artificially generating canceling (secondary) source(s) of sound through detecting the unwanted (primary) noise and processing it by an electronic controller, so that when the secondary wave is superimposed on the primary wave the two destructively interfere and cancellation occurs at the observation point. ANC system is an active research area for its high demand especially in the acoustic noise and vibration control systems. A lot of work in modeling an ANC system involves the transfer function approach, but unfortunately this method allows observation at a single point or mode. It is of interest to measure the level of cancellation not only at the observer but also around it. Therefore, a state space approach would allow observation at multi modes simultaneously and became the subject of this research. This thesis is concerned with the study and development of a state-space model (SSM) for ANC system in on dimensional free-field medium instead of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Models. In this work, the derivation of the SSM of each propagation path of ANC system is presented and hence the system is termed Feedforward state space control system with feedback inclusion single input single output (SISO) architecture. The criterions of success considered the evaluation process are the length of the propagation path, level of cancellation, convergence rate, number of modes of each path, and destructive interferences occur at the cancellation path. The secondary path of the ANC system is modeled by using the LMS algorithm to complete the design of the Filtered-X Least Mean Square (FXLMS) controller. Then the adaptive FXLMS controller is presented and incorporated with the proposed model for both Feedforward with / without the acoustic Feedback cases.
