An adaptive signal processing technique is implemented for the active noise cancellation of the plane acoustic wave propagating in a duct. To avoid the instability caused by the acoustic feedback from the control speaker to the detect microphone, an off-line modeling of the acoustic feedback plant is done using the FIR filter. Auxiliary path required for the filtered-x LMS algorithm is modeled as well. Before going into the experiments, a simulation is carried out under the same conditions with experiments. The simulation shows that the longer the length of the adaptive filter is, the better the results are achieved. Experiments have been carried out at lower audio frequency range (50 - 400Hz), and the results are in good agreements with those of simulation study. As a results of this adaptive noise control, around 50dB is reduced for a pure tone noise, and for a bandlimited noise with the bandwidth of 316Hz, a maximum of 30dB noise reduction is attained.

The conventional neural networks are built without considering the underlying structure of the problems. Hence, they usually contain redundant weights and require excessive training time. A novel neural network structure is proposed for symmetric problems, which alleviate some of the aforementioned drawback of the conventional neural networks. This concept is expanded to that of the constrained neural network which may be applied to general structured problems. Because these neural networks can not be trained by the conventional training algorithm, which destroys the weight structure of the neural networks, a proper training algorithm is suggested. The illustrative examples are shown to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed idea.
