This paper described adaptive ANC (Active Noise Control) systems for noise canacelling in multiple inputs and multiple outputs channel. Until this time, it was reported that the study of AMC for the multiple inputs and the multiple outputs had no correlation between input signals of adaptive filters. In fact, it is difficult independently to check the noise source signals and insufficient about this study. In this paper we proposed to use the adaptive filter for eliminating the correlation between input signals. The simulation results showed that the convergence rate improved about two times with this filter than that one without this filter at the rate $b_{12}=0.95$.

The active control technique mostly uses the least-mean-square(LMS) algorithm, because the LMS algorithm can easily obtain the complex transfer function in real-time, particularly when the Filtered-X LMS(FXLMS) algorithm is applied to an active noise control(ANC) system. However, FXLMS algorithm has the demerit that stability of the control is decreased when the step size become larger but the convergence speed is faster because the step size of FXLMS algorithm is fixed. As a result, the system has higher probability which the divergence occurs. Thus the Co-FXLMS algorithm was developed to solve this problem. The Co-FXLMS algorithm is realized by using an estimate of the cross correlation between the adaptation error and the filtered input signal to control the step size. In this paper, the performance of the Co-FXLMS algorithm is presented in comparison with the FXLMS algorithm. Simulation and experimental results show that active noise control using Co-FXLMS is effective in reducing the noise in duct system.

Kuo et al proposed an on-line method for an adaptive prediction error filter for improving secondary path modeling performance in the modeling method of the secondary path. This method have some disadvantages, namely having to use additive noise with the result that noise control performance is not good since it is focused on the estimated performance of the secondary path. In this paper, we proposes a modified Kuo model using gain control parameter and delay. It uses a reference signal for additive noise to improve the problems in the existing Kuo model.

Instead of very expensive sound record and professional measurement microphones the low cost Surface Mounted Device (SMD) microphones are proposed for practical barrier ANC system. FRF of the microphones and theirs sensitivity to the wind interferences are evaluated in semi anechoic chamber. The improvement of feedforward algorithm noise reduction index was evaluated based on measured coherence function between tested SMD and reference microphone. Test was performed at various wind speed from 1 m/s to 5 m/s.

This paper describes Active Noise Cancellation/Control(ANC) method that removes the information of the unnecessary noise and doesn't remove the informations of the necessary noise(warning sound, operating sound etc.) for the induced noise of the mechanical system. In this paper, the noise source Is axial fan, and the Feedback Active Noise control method that can effectively control BPF generated from the axial fan is used, and the Filtered-X LMS algorithm for adaptive algorithms is used. The experiments are executed for two case(propagating noise in the duct, emission noise for exterior free field). The part to be removed is BPF noise, and the band-pass filter not to effect to the other frequencies is used. Also, to investigate the effect of the noise reduction for human, we are compared with the results that are controlled for using Loudness before and after. As a results, we are certified that the BPF is decreased only and frequencies outside of BPF are not affected, and we acquire the reduction effects of 6.7 dB Loudness Level, then the frequency to be removed is controlled. Therefore, we can be certified that sound pressure as well as loudness can be effectively decreased for human sound quality

Road traffic noise barriers being used to reduce the noise, but the city surroundings inhibition, ecosystem disturbance, and it is difficult to maintain. Can enhance or complement the existing noise barrier performance, so that it is necessary to develop an electronic noise-reduction system In this paper, we proposed an electronic road noise reduction devices to reduce road noise for a DSP-based signal processing and analog signal input-output controller. In order to verify the control performance, we performed noise reduction experimentation of ANC by filtered-X LMS algorithm and traffic noise signal injection. The controller is equipped with noise reduction algorithms were tested on the characteristics of directional and omnidirectional speaker.

본 논문에서는 ANC 시스템의 빠른 수렴을 위하여 2차 경로 필터를 초기화하는 방법을 제안한다. 대부분의 ANC 시스템에서는 2차 경로 필터를 설계하기 위하여 LMS 알고리즘을 사용한다. 그러나 기존의 방법들은 2차 경로 필터의 초기 계수 값을 0으로 설정하기 때문에 필터의 수렴 시간이 길어진다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 미리 구한 계수 값을 2차 경로 필터의 초기값으로 설정하여 필터의 수렴 시간을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 사용하면 2차 경로 필터의 초기 단계부터 에러가 작게 나타내며, 이에 따라 ANC 시스템의 수렴이 빨라진다. 상용 헤드셋을 이용하여 제안하는 방법을 실험하였으며, 기존 방법보다 빠르게 ANC 시스템이 수렴하는 것을 확인하였다.

ANC technic can overcome the limited performance of passive noise control at the low frequency range. But it has the local quiet control region in general. In this paper, it is discussed that the global noise control in a circular duct using a ring type smart foam and a porous material. LMS algorithm and RLS algorithm are used to find optimal orders of cancellation path. Experiments are performed to compare the efficiency of RLS algorithm with that of LMS algorithm.

Many industrial processes that are operated by rotating machines and large air-moving fans are excellent examples to which the single channel ANC systems can be applied. In these environments, the active noise control techniques are most popular nowadays. In this paper, a modified LMS algorithm(EAC, Error Amplitude Compared) is proposed. The algorithm is a kind of variable step-size LMS-type algorithm. Computer simulations show that the proposed EAC algorithm achieves a better convergence time than a conventional VS(Variable Step-Size) algorithm, Also, this algorithm has been implemented by using and experimental duct system.
