Active noise control at a moving virtual microphone using the SOTDF moving virtual sensing method

چکیده
Traditional local active noise control systems minimise the measured acoustic sound pressure to generate a zone of quiet at a physical error sensor. The resulting zone of quiet is generally limited in size and as such, placement of a physical error sensor at the location of desired attenuation is required, which is often inconvenient. Virtual acoustic sensors can be used to project the zone of quiet away from a physical error sensor to a remote location. A number of virtual sensing algorithms have been developed in the past and these have shown potential to improve the performance of local active noise control systems. However, it is likely that the desired location of maximum attenuation is not spatially fixed. In this paper, a stochastically optimal virtual microphone capable of tracking a desired virtual location in a modally dense three-dimensional sound field is developed using the Stochastically Optimal Tonal Diffuse Field (SOTDF) moving virtual sensing method. The performance of an active noise control system in generating a zone of quiet at the ear of a rotating artificial head with the SOTDF moving virtual sensing method has been experimentally investigated and experimental results are presented here.

Active noise control at a virtual acoustic energy density sensor in a three-dimensional sound field
A common problem in local active noise control is that the zone of quiet centered at the physical microphone is too small to extend to the desired location of attenuation, such as an observer’s ear. The physical microphone must therefore be placed at the desired location of attenuation, which is often inconvenient. Virtual microphones overcome this by shifting the zone of quiet away from the ph...

A frequent problem in active noise control is that the zone of quiet created at the error sensor tends to be very small. This means that the error sensor generally needs to be located close to an observer's ear, which might not always be a convenient or feasible solution. Virtual sensing is a method that can move the zone of quiet away from the error sensor to a desired location that is spatial...

A common problem in local active noise control is that the zone of quiet generated at the physical error sensor is limited in size. This requires that the physical error sensor (the microphone) is placed at the desired location of attenuation (the ear), which is often inconvenient. Virtual acoustic sensors overcome this by estimating the pressure at a location that is remote from the physical s...

The performance of local active noise control systems is generally limited by the small sizes of the zones of quiet created at the error sensors. This is often exacerbated by the fact that the error sensors can not always be located close to an observer’s ears. Virtual sensing is a method which can move the zone of quiet away from the physical location of the transducers to a desired location, ...
