A Robust Frequency-Domain Multi-Reference Narrowband Adaptive Noise Canceller

Abstract

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.
