In this paper, it is shown that the performance of the frequency-domain multi-reference narrowband noise canceller is determined by the narrowband component to the broadband disturbance power ratio in the reference signals. To overcome this problem, a new narrowband ANC is proposed, where the update of the adaptive filter is determined based on SNR of the reference inputs being measured using the magnitude squared coherence (MSC) between the primary and the reference signals. Simulation results show that the proposed ANC has superior performance over the conventional one.
ABSTRACT:In many practical active noise control applications, the primary noise contains multiple closely-spaced harmonics. A narrowband ANC system consists of adaptive filters excited by a composite reference signal, which is the set or sum of sinusoids. This paper analyzes and shows that the convergence speeds of the direct form, parallel form, and simplified parallel form narrowband ANC systems are affected by the fundamental frequency and frequency separation between two adjacent sinusoids in the reference signal. This paper also proposes the new simplified parallel form narrowband ANC system whose convergence speed is independent on the frequency of the reference signal. Computer simulations are conducted to verify the analysis presented in the paper and to compare the proposed narrowband ANC system with the conventional narrowband ANC system.
