Optimal Loudspeaker Positions of an Active Noise Control System with an Opening in an Enclosure

Optimal loudspeaker positions are important as much as the control algorithms and hardware performance in the active noise control system. This study is similar to the past researches on the optimal transducer locations but with a far field noise source having a plane wave characteristic and the noise coming through an opening such as a window in the enclosure. An optimization technique called simulated annealing algorithm is used to find a set of optimal loudspeaker positions from a larger possible loudspeaker positions. Loudspeakers are placed on the surface of opening at the wail. Using the measured acoustic transfer impedances and numerical simulations with the optimization technique, optimal positions we identified and compared. When a small number of loudspeakers are used, loudspeaker positions on the opening near the center seems to be the best place, but when a larger number of loudspeakers are used it was difficult to find simple patterns Un the optimal positions.
