Abstract

In active control of acoustical noise, the combination of feedback and adaptive feedforward control enables broadband noise reduction. A simple combination strategy, which is based on an internal model feedback controller and an adaptive "filtered-x least mean square" feedforward filter, is commonly used for this purpose. Although this method enables saving of memory and calculating resources, it fails in terms of stability when the secondary path is subject to variations. Especially in headset applications varying leakage of the ear cup leads to instability in the internal model controller loop. To overcome this problem we propose an alternative combination method of a standard feedback controller and an adaptive feedforward filter in this paper. The feedback controller was developed to be stable under all leakage conditions. The combination strategy consists firstly in tuning each controller according to the aimed frequency range. Secondly the binding structure is realised to enable both controllers to act simultaneously in a constructive way. The proposed method was implemented for an active noise control headset using a DSP platform and proved stability and broadband noise reduction under different ear cup leakage conditions.
