In this article, a transfer function estimate of the electroacoustic channel is established, responsive to the second audio signal and part of the first audio signal, and filters are obtained with transfer functions based on the estimate.
Abstract
An electroacoustic channel soundfield is altered. An audio signal is applied by an electromechanical transducer to an acoustic space, causing air pressure changes therein. Another audio signal is obtained by a second electromechanical transducer, responsive to air pressure changes in the acoustic space. A transfer function estimate of the electroacoustic channel is established, responsive to the second audio signal and part of the first audio signal. The transfer function estimate is derived to be adaptive to temporal variations in the electroacoustic channel transfer function. Filters are obtained with transfer functions based on the transfer function estimate. Part of the first audio signal is filtered therewith.

Anc for bt headphones

TL;DR: In this paper, an active noise cancellation controller for performing noise attenuation in a system over a predetermined frequency range is presented, in which a fixed feedback controller, fixed feedforward controller and adaptive feed-forward controller are arranged to, in use, provide a noise cancellation signal at the output in dependence on a reference signal received at the first input and an error signal received on the second input.

Oversight control of an adaptive noise canceler in a personal audio device

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) circuit that adaptively generates an anti-noise signal from a reference microphone signal and injects the anti noise signal into the speaker or other transducer output to cause cancellation of ambient audio sounds is presented.

Ear-coupling detection and adjustment of adaptive response in noise-canceling in personal audio devices

TL;DR: In this article, an error microphone is provided proximate the speaker to estimate an electro-acoustical path from the noise canceling circuit through the transducer and adjusts the adaptive cancellation of the ambient sounds to prevent erroneous and possibly disruptive generation of the anti-noise signal if the degree of coupling lies either below or above a range of normal operating ear contact pressure.

Bandlimiting anti-noise in personal audio devices having adaptive noise cancellation (ANC)

TL;DR: In this paper, an error microphone is provided proximate the speaker to measure the output of the transducer in order to control the adaptation of the anti-noise signal and to estimate an electro-acoustical path from the noise canceling circuit through the transducers.

Active noise control: a tutorial review

TL;DR: The basic adaptive algorithm for ANC is developed and analyzed based on single-channel broad-band feedforward control, then modified for narrow-bandFeedforward and adaptive feedback control, which are expanded to multiple-channel cases.

A delayless subband adaptive filter architecture

TL;DR: A new type of subband adaptive filter architecture is presented in which the adaptive weights are computed in subbands, but collectively transformed into an equivalent set of wideband filter coefficients, which avoids signal path delay while retaining the computational and convergence speed advantages of sub band processing.
