In the field of active noise control (ANC), a popular method is the modified filtered-x LMS algorithm. However, it has two drawbacks: its computational complexity higher than that of the conventional FxLMS, and its convergence rate that could still be improved. Therefore, we propose an adaptive strategy which aims at speeding up the convergence rate of an ANC system dealing with periodic disturbances. This algorithm consists in combining the organization of the filter weights in a hierarchy of subfilters of shorter length and their sequential partial updates (PU). Our contribution is threefold: (1) we provide the theoretical basis of the existence of a frequency-dependent parameter, called gain in step-size. (2) The theoretical upper bound of the step-size is compared with the limit obtained from simulations. (3) Additional experiments show that this strategy results in a fast algorithm with a computational complexity close to that of the conventional FxLMS.

A stable feedback active noise control (FBANC) system with an improved performance in a broadband disturbance environment is proposed in this article. This is achieved by using a Steiglitz-McBride adaptive notch filter (SM-ANF) and robust secondary path identification (SPI) both based on variable step size Griffiths least mean square (LMS) algorithm. The broadband disturbance severely affects not only FBANC input synthesized but also the SPI.TheSM-ANFestimated signal has narrowband component that is utilized for the FBANC input synthesis. Further, the SM-ANF error has broadband component utilized to get the desired signal for SPI. The use of variable step size Griffiths gradient LMS algorithm for SPI enables the removal of broadband disturbance and non-stationary disturbance from the available desired signal for better SPI. For a narrowband noise field, the proposed FBANC improves the convergence rate significantly (20 times) and the noise reduction from 10 dB to 15 dB (50%improvement) over the conventional FBANC (without SM-ANF and variable step size Griffiths LMS adaptation for SPI).

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a modified adaptive step size algorithm and implement to active noise control (ANC) system. It is well-known that there is a trade-off between steady state error and convergence rate depending on the step size. This study shows that the new algorithm can track changes in dynamic characteristics of ANC system as well as produce a low steady state error. Simulation results are presented to compare the performance of the new algorithm to basic LMS algorithm. Although there have been several studies for adaptive step size algorithm, no quantitative analysis has yet been reported for real time active noise control application as far as the authors know. Experimental results are presented for a duct system. The results indicate that the new algorithm provides better performance than the fixed step size FXLMS algorithm.

—Active noise control is used to reduce low frequency noises. A hybrid ANC structure combines feedforward and feedback structure to generate an anti-noise wave, which results in high performance in control of unwanted noise. In this paper, a hybrid structure for active noise control (ANC) is developed. The hybrid structure utilises a variable step size LMS algorithm for faster convergence. This structure also incorporates variable step size (VSS) online secondary path modelling, the white noise injection is stopped at the optimum point when the modelling accuracy is sufficient. Comparative simulation results shown in this paper indicate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in reducing acoustic noises.

This paper presents the feed-forward multichannel active noise control which was simulated on LabVIEW and experimented on two channel feed-forward active noise control in real-time. The simulation of feed-forward multichannel active noise control system was built on LabVIEW by using FxLMS algorithm and other algorithms such as Variable Step-size (VSS) and saturation compensation. Moreover, LMS and VSS LMS algorithm were used to train the secondary path in order to improve the convergence speed and stabilization of ANC system in the real-time. The experimental results show that the ANC system in real-time using variable step-size and without using variable step-size algorithm work effectively with noise sources which were synthesized from one to three frequencies. The noise level in these cases decreased around 12 dB - 35 dB and the noise reduction radius measured is about 3 cm around the microphone.
