The selection and application of an IIR adaptive filter for use in active sound attenuation

TLDR
It is shown that the recursive least mean square (RLMS) algorithm of Feintuch possesses significant advantages for use in a practical active attentuation system.
Abstract
The use of infinite impulse response (IIR) adaptive filters has lagged behind that of finite impulse response (FIR) adaptive filters. This has been due, in part, to the increased complexity of IIR filters and the potential for instability that exists due to the presence of poles in the transfer function. This paper discusses the use of adaptive filters for the active cancellation of acoustic noise. It is shown that IIR filters possess certain characteristics that are highly desirable for this problem. The selection of an appropriate IIR adaptive algorithm is discussed using observability considerations. It is shown that the recursive least mean square (RLMS) algorithm of Feintuch possesses significant advantages for use in a practical active attentuation system. Results are presented from computer simulations as well as an actual system using a TI TMS32010 digital signal processing microprocessor.

Adaptive Volterra filters for active control of nonlinear noise processes

TL;DR: Numerical simulation results show that the developed VFXLMS algorithm achieves performance improvement over the standard filtered-X LMS algorithm for the following two situations: the reference noise is a nonlinear noise process, and at the same time, the secondary path estimate is of nonminimum phase; and the primary path exhibits the nonlinear behavior.

The active control of sound propagation in long ducts

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that for a circular duct an array consisting of two separated rings of sources, each composed of three point sources, can be made to generate a plane wave output in one direction only, and that such an array of sources will not generate any propagating transverse modes for frequencies below ωu(M) = 2·1 ωc(M).
