Integrated active noise control communication headsets

چکیده
In this paper, we present the development and evaluation of an integrated active noise control (ANC) communication headsets. This integrated system provides cancellation of noise that corrupted both the transmitted near-end speech and the received far-end speech. It utilizes an adaptive feedback ANC filter to reduce acoustic noise that corrupts the far-end signal inside the ear cups of headsets, and uses an adaptive noise-canceling filter to enhance the near-end speech before sending it to the far-end. This integrated approach minimizes the required signal processing components, and optimizes the functionality of each processing block for combining noise cancellation tasks in the communication headsets. Computer simulations using recorded noise, speech signals, and measured headsets impulse response are carried out to evaluate the performance of this integrated system.

Insertion loss testing of active noise reduction headsets using acoustic fixture
Active Noise Reduction (ANR) technique has been available for hearing protectors and communication headsets for years. However, no standard testing method for ANR headsets has emerged. In this study, we measured insertion losses of four types of commercially available ANR headsets using an Acoustic Test Fixture (ATF) to examine the feasibility of using ATF for this kind of measurement. The meas...

This paper presents the design and implementation of adaptive feedback active noise control system (ANC) for head phone applications. Active Noise Control is a technique of acoustic noise reduction using a secondary source of sound which produces ”antinoise” to cancel the primary noise. In this paper, narrow band single channel feedback ANC for headsets application is focused upon. The filter w...

Among the many occupational hazards to which Army rotary-wing aviators are exposed is intense noise generated from the aircraft. The potential for permanent hearing loss and difficulty communicating in helicopter noise is well known; an appropriate way to evaluate a hearing-impaired pilot’s safety risk due to hearing loss is not as well known. Previous research has studied communication ability...
