ABSTRACT:
A active noise control system is described for attenuating an undesirable noise that containing multiple noise components having different frequencies. The system includes a configuration of signal generators and corresponding paired adaptive filters. Each signal generator produces a generator output signal containing one or more sinusoidal signal components, with each signal component having a frequency corresponding to a respective one of the noise frequency components. Separate signal generators are used to produce those sinusoidal components having frequencies corresponding to noise component that are adjacent with respect to their frequencies. Each adaptive filter operates on the generator output signal produced by its corresponding paired signal generator in accordance with its filtering characteristics to provide a respective filtered output signal. The filtered output signals from each adaptive filter are summed to obtain an output canceling signal, which drives an actuator to produce output canceling waves that are superpositioned with the undesirable noise. An error sensor measures the level of residual noise resulting from the superposition of the canceling waves and the undesirable noise, and provides an error signal for adapting the characteristics of the adaptive filters so as to minimize the level of residual noise.
