Adaptive signal processing for multichannel sound using high performance computing

Lorente Giner, Jorge 02 December 2015 (has links)
[EN] The field of audio signal processing has undergone a major development in recent years. Both the consumer and professional marketplaces continue to show growth in audio applications such as immersive audio schemes that offer optimal listening experience, intelligent noise reduction in cars or improvements in audio teleconferencing or hearing aids. The development of these applications has a common interest in increasing or improving the number of discrete audio channels, the quality of the audio or the sophistication of the algorithms. This often gives rise to problems of high computational cost, even when using common signal processing algorithms, mainly due to the application of these algorithms to multiple signals with real-time requirements. The field of High Performance Computing (HPC) based on low cost hardware elements is the bridge needed between the computing problems and the real multimedia signals and systems that lead to user's applications. In this sense, the present thesis goes a step further in the development of these systems by using the computational power of General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) to exploit the inherent parallelism of signal processing for multichannel audio applications. The increase of the computational capacity of the processing devices has been historically linked to the number of transistors in a chip. However, nowadays the improvements in the computational capacity are mainly given by increasing the number of processing units and using parallel processing. The Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), which have now thousands of computing cores, are a representative example. The GPUs were traditionally used to graphic or image processing, but new releases in the GPU programming environments such as CUDA have allowed the use of GPUS for general processing applications. Hence, the use of GPUs is being extended to a wide variety of intensive-computation applications among which audio processing is included. However, the data transactions between the CPU and the GPU and viceversa have questioned the viability of the use of GPUs for audio applications in which real-time interaction between microphones and loudspeakers is required. This is the case of the adaptive filtering applications, where an efficient use of parallel computation in not straightforward. For these reasons, up to the beginning of this thesis, very few publications had dealt with the GPU implementation of real-time acoustic applications based on adaptive filtering. Therefore, this thesis aims to demonstrate that GPUs are totally valid tools to carry out audio applications based on adaptive filtering that require high computational resources. To this end, different adaptive applications in the field of audio processing are studied and performed using GPUs. This manuscript also analyzes and solves possible limitations in each GPU-based implementation both from the acoustic point of view as from the computational point of view. / [ES] El campo de procesado de señales de audio ha experimentado un desarrollo importante en los últimos años. Tanto el mercado de consumo como el profesional siguen mostrando un crecimiento en aplicaciones de audio, tales como: los sistemas de audio inmersivo que ofrecen una experiencia de sonido óptima, los sistemas inteligentes de reducción de ruido en coches o las mejoras en sistemas de teleconferencia o en audífonos. El desarrollo de estas aplicaciones tiene un propósito común de aumentar o mejorar el número de canales de audio, la propia calidad del audio o la sofisticación de los algoritmos. Estas mejoras suelen dar lugar a sistemas de alto coste computacional, incluso usando algoritmos comunes de procesado de señal. Esto se debe principalmente a que los algoritmos se suelen aplicar a sistemas multicanales con requerimientos de procesamiento en tiempo real. El campo de la Computación de Alto Rendimiento basado en elementos hardware de bajo coste es el puente necesario entre los problemas de computación y los sistemas multimedia que dan lugar a aplicaciones de usuario. En este sentido, la presente tesis va un paso más allá en el desarrollo de estos sistemas mediante el uso de la potencia de cálculo de las Unidades de Procesamiento Gráfico (GPU) en aplicaciones de propósito general. Con ello, aprovechamos la inherente capacidad de paralelización que poseen las GPU para procesar señales de audio y obtener aplicaciones de audio multicanal. El aumento de la capacidad computacional de los dispositivos de procesado ha estado vinculado históricamente al número de transistores que había en un chip. Sin embargo, hoy en día, las mejoras en la capacidad computacional se dan principalmente por el aumento del número de unidades de procesado y su uso para el procesado en paralelo. Las GPUs son un ejemplo muy representativo. Hoy en día, las GPUs poseen hasta miles de núcleos de computación. Tradicionalmente, las GPUs se han utilizado para el procesado de gráficos o imágenes. Sin embargo, la aparición de entornos sencillos de programación GPU, como por ejemplo CUDA, han permitido el uso de las GPU para aplicaciones de procesado general. De ese modo, el uso de las GPU se ha extendido a una amplia variedad de aplicaciones que requieren cálculo intensivo. Entre esta gama de aplicaciones, se incluye el procesado de señales de audio. No obstante, las transferencias de datos entre la CPU y la GPU y viceversa pusieron en duda la viabilidad de las GPUs para aplicaciones de audio en las que se requiere una interacción en tiempo real entre micrófonos y altavoces. Este es el caso de las aplicaciones basadas en filtrado adaptativo, donde el uso eficiente de la computación en paralelo no es sencillo. Por estas razones, hasta el comienzo de esta tesis, había muy pocas publicaciones que utilizaran la GPU para implementaciones en tiempo real de aplicaciones acústicas basadas en filtrado adaptativo. A pesar de todo, esta tesis pretende demostrar que las GPU son herramientas totalmente válidas para llevar a cabo aplicaciones de audio basadas en filtrado adaptativo que requieran elevados recursos computacionales. Con este fin, la presente tesis ha estudiado y desarrollado varias aplicaciones adaptativas de procesado de audio utilizando una GPU como procesador. Además, también analiza y resuelve las posibles limitaciones de cada aplicación tanto desde el punto de vista acústico como desde el punto de vista computacional. / [CA] El camp del processament de senyals d'àudio ha experimentat un desenvolupament important als últims anys. Tant el mercat de consum com el professional segueixen mostrant un creixement en aplicacions d'àudio, com ara: els sistemes d'àudio immersiu que ofereixen una experiència de so òptima, els sistemes intel·ligents de reducció de soroll en els cotxes o les millores en sistemes de teleconferència o en audiòfons. El desenvolupament d'aquestes aplicacions té un propòsit comú d'augmentar o millorar el nombre de canals d'àudio, la pròpia qualitat de l'àudio o la sofisticació dels algorismes que s'utilitzen. Això, sovint dóna lloc a sistemes d'alt cost computacional, fins i tot quan es fan servir algorismes comuns de processat de senyal. Això es deu principalment al fet que els algorismes se solen aplicar a sistemes multicanals amb requeriments de processat en temps real. El camp de la Computació d'Alt Rendiment basat en elements hardware de baix cost és el pont necessari entre els problemes de computació i els sistemes multimèdia que donen lloc a aplicacions d'usuari. En aquest sentit, aquesta tesi va un pas més enllà en el desenvolupament d'aquests sistemes mitjançant l'ús de la potència de càlcul de les Unitats de Processament Gràfic (GPU) en aplicacions de propòsit general. Amb això, s'aprofita la inherent capacitat de paral·lelització que posseeixen les GPUs per processar senyals d'àudio i obtenir aplicacions d'àudio multicanal. L'augment de la capacitat computacional dels dispositius de processat ha estat històricament vinculada al nombre de transistors que hi havia en un xip. No obstant, avui en dia, les millores en la capacitat computacional es donen principalment per l'augment del nombre d'unitats de processat i el seu ús per al processament en paral·lel. Un exemple molt representatiu són les GPU, que avui en dia posseeixen milers de nuclis de computació. Tradicionalment, les GPUs s'han utilitzat per al processat de gràfics o imatges. No obstant, l'aparició d'entorns senzills de programació de la GPU com és CUDA, han permès l'ús de les GPUs per a aplicacions de processat general. D'aquesta manera, l'ús de les GPUs s'ha estès a una àmplia varietat d'aplicacions que requereixen càlcul intensiu. Entre aquesta gamma d'aplicacions, s'inclou el processat de senyals d'àudio. No obstant, les transferències de dades entre la CPU i la GPU i viceversa van posar en dubte la viabilitat de les GPUs per a aplicacions d'àudio en què es requereix la interacció en temps real de micròfons i altaveus. Aquest és el cas de les aplicacions basades en filtrat adaptatiu, on l'ús eficient de la computació en paral·lel no és senzilla. Per aquestes raons, fins al començament d'aquesta tesi, hi havia molt poques publicacions que utilitzessin la GPU per implementar en temps real aplicacions acústiques basades en filtrat adaptatiu. Malgrat tot, aquesta tesi pretén demostrar que les GPU són eines totalment vàlides per dur a terme aplicacions d'àudio basades en filtrat adaptatiu que requereixen alts recursos computacionals. Amb aquesta finalitat, en la present tesi s'han estudiat i desenvolupat diverses aplicacions adaptatives de processament d'àudio utilitzant una GPU com a processador. A més, aquest manuscrit també analitza i resol les possibles limitacions de cada aplicació, tant des del punt de vista acústic, com des del punt de vista computacional. / Lorente Giner, J. (2015).

Controle ativo de ruído para transformadores de potência em campo. / Active noise control of power transformers in field.

Masiero, Bruno Sanches 11 July 2007 (has links)
É cada vez maior a preocupação com a poluição sonora gerada pelos transformadores de potência de subestações elétricas. Atualmente, o controle desse tipo de ruído é feito utilizando-se métodos passivos, que são caros e dificultam a manutenção dos transformadores. Uma alternativa para os métodos passivos é o controle ativo de ruído (ANC). Apesar de extensas pesquisas realizadas nas últimas três décadas, ainda não existem soluções comercialmente viáveis para o ANC de transformadores. As dificuldades para a aplicação bem sucedida do ANC para transformadores foram investigadas por meio de simulações e de testes com protótipo. Os três maiores obstáculos identificados foram: o posicionamento dos transdutores eletroacústicos; a obtenção de atenuação em uma região longe do transformador, usando um número reduzido de fontes de controle e de sensores de erro, os últimos colocados ainda na região de campo acústico próximo; e a identificação robusta do caminho secundário com baixa razão sinal/ruído. Os dois primeiros problemas foram abordados, analisando-se algumas alternativas de soluções. Algoritmos genéticos (GA) foram utilizados para a otimização da posição dos transdutores do sistema ANC. O desempenho desses algoritmos depende fortemente da modelagem acústica realizada e verificou-se que o método de Usry, escolhido para modelar o campo primário do transformador, não forneceu estimativa adequada. Usando um modelo mais simples de fonte primária, constatou-se a importância da função de mérito para o desempenho do GA. Também foi verificado que a otimização conjunta das posições dos transdutores fornece o mesmo resultado, e em menor tempo, que a otimização das posições das fontes de controle e dos sensores de erro separadamente. Simulações realizadas com uma nova estratégia de sensores virtuais (baseada no janelamento das fontes de controle) mostra que é possível aumentar o nível de atenuação longe do transformador, mesmo com um número pequeno de fontes de controle e sensores de erro. Testes com um protótipo de sistema ANC foram feitos em laboratório e em campo e os resultados desses testes são discutidos detalhadamente. / Concern regarding noise pollution caused by power transformers in electrical substations is increasing. Nowadays, this kind of noise is controlled using passive methods, which are expensive and make transformer maintenance more difficult. An alternative to passive methods is active noise control (ANC). However, despite extensive research undertaken in the last three decades, there is still no viable commercial solution for the active control of transformer noise. The difficulties for a successful implementation of an ANC solution in the case of power transformer noise are investigated through simulations and tests with a prototype. The three main obstacles found were: the positioning of the electro-acoustic transducers; the achievement of sufficient attenuation in a region far from the transformer, using a small number of control sources and error sensors (when the latter are positioned on the region of acoustic near-field); and the robust identification of the secondary path in a low signal/noise situation. The two former problems were dealt with, and some alternative solutions were analyzed. Genetic algorithms (GA) were used for the optimization of the transducers\' position. The performance of these algorithms is strongly related to the acoustical model used and it was verified that the Usry method, used for modelling the transformers primary field, did not result in an adequate estimate. Using a simplified model for the primary source, the importance of the cost function in the GA\'s performance was made evident. It was also verified that the joint optimization of transducers\' position provides the same result, and in shorter time, as the independent optimization of control source and error sensor positions. Simulations with a new virtual sensor strategy (based on windowing the control sources) show that it is possible to increase attenuation levels in a region far from the transformer, even with a small number of control sources and error sensors. Laboratory and field tests with an ANC system prototype were undertaken and the results of these tests are thoroughly discussed.

Contrôle acoustique actif du bruit dans une cavité fermée / Active acoustic noise control in a closed cavity

Boultifat, Chaouki Nacer 27 March 2019 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur le contrôle acoustique actif (ANC) dans une cavité. L’objectif est d’atténuer l’effet d’une onde sonore perturbatrice en des points ou dans un volume. Ceci est réalisé à l’aide d’un contre-bruit généré, par exemple, par un haut-parleur. Cette étude requiert l’utilisation de modèles dynamiques rendant compte de l’évolution des pressions aux points d’intérêt en fonction des bruits exogènes. Ce modèle peut être obtenu par une identification fréquentielle des réponses point-à-point ou en utilisant le modèle physique sous jacent (équation des ondes). Dans ce dernier cas, la recherche d'un modèle de dimension finie est souvent un préalable à l’étude conceptuelle d'un système d’ANC. Les contributions de cette thèse portent donc sur l’élaboration de différents modèles simplifiés paramétrés par la position pour les systèmes acoustiques et sur la conception de lois de commande pour l’ANC. Le premier volet de la thèse est dédié à l’élaboration de différents modèles simplifiés de système de propagation acoustique au sein d’une cavité. Pour cela, les simplifications envisagées peuvent être de nature spatiale autant que fréquentielle. Nous montrons notamment qu'il est possible, sous certaines conditions, d’approximer le système 3D par un système 1D. Ceci a été mis en évidence expérimentalement sur le banc d’essai LS2NBox. Le second volet porte sur la conception de lois de commande. En premier lieu, les stratégies de commandes couramment utilisées pour l’ANC sont comparées. L'effet dela commande multi-objectif H en différents points voisins des points d'atténuation est analysé. La possibilité d’une annulation parfaitedu bruit en un point est aussi discutée. / This thesis deals with active noise control (ANC) in a cavity. The aim is to mitigate the effect of a disturbing sound wave at some points or in a volume. This is achieved using ananti-noise generated, for example, by a loudspeaker. This study requires the use of dynamic models that report changes in pressure at points of interest in response to exogenous noises. Such models can be obtained by frequency identification of point-to-point responses or by using the underlying physical model (wave equation). In the latter case, the search for a low-complexity model (finite dimensional model) is often a prerequisite for the conceptual study of an active control system. The contributions of this thesis concern the development of different simplified models parameterized by the spatial position for acoustic systems, and the design of control laws for noise attenuation. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the development of various simplified models of acoustic propagation system within a cavity. For that, the simplifications envisaged can be of spatial nature as much as frequential. We show in particular that it is possible, under certain conditions, to approximate the 3D system by a 1D system. This has been demonstrated experimentally on the prototype system, LS2NBox. The second part of the thesis deals with the design of control laws. First, the control strategies commonly used for ANC are compared. The effect of multi-objective H control at different spatial positions close to the attenuation points is analyzed. The possibility of perfect noise cancellation at one point is also discussed.

Active Control of Noise Through Windows

Lane, Jeremy David January 2013 (has links)
Windows are a weakness in building facade sound transmission loss (STL). This coupled with the detrimental effects of excessive noise exposure on human health including: annoyance, sleep deprivation, hearing impairment and heart disease, is the motivation for this investigation of the STL improvements active noise control (ANC) of windows can provide. Window speaker development, ANC window experiments and analytical modelling of ANC windows were investigated. Five different window speaker constructions were characterised then compared with a previously developed window speaker. ANC window testing used three different ANC configurations and was performed in two different environments, one with a reverberant receiving room, and the other with an anechoic receiving room. Optimisation of ANC systems with particular control source locations was the aim of the modelling. This enabled comparison with the ANC window tests and would aid in further development of ANC windows. Window speaker constructions were characterised by sound pressure level (SPL) measurements performed in an anechoic room. These measurements were made in a way that enabled comparison with the previously developed window speaker. Total sound energy reduction calculations were used to determine the relative performance of the tested ANC windows. An STL model, based on a modal panel vibration model, was initially created and verified against published STL data before it was expanded to include ANC control sources. The model was used to simulate the performed anechoic environment tests and an ideal ANC case.

Estruturas inteligentes aplicadas ao controle ativo de ruído de alta ordem em dutos / Smart structures applied to active control of higher order noise in ducts

Nishida, Pedro Pio Rosa 11 September 2012 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In this study the possible use of smart structures for noise control in a higher order acoustic duct was considered. The best option for this control was the use of axial splitters in the duct in order to prevent higher order mode propagation. It is possible to perform the active noise control in each splitter section by using a single channel control system. The use of smart structures takes advantage of the splitter plate and uses it as the control source, which substitutes the traditional loudspeakers used in active noise control systems. In order to evaluate the possibility of the noise control using smart structures, an analytical model of a thin plate with piezoelectric actuators was built then the acoustic field generated by this vibrating structure inside of the duct was obtained. However, to obtain the acoustic field inside an splitted duct, a numerical method such as the Component Mode Synthesis has to be used. Using the equation of the acoustic field generated in the duct by the plate, it was possible to obtain the acoustic field inside the splitted duct. After that, the active noise control simulations for harmonic excitations were performed and the influence of the size of the plate excited by the PZT actuators was studied. Finally the active control for random noise was simulated, in which the number of actuators in the plate was changed. In conclusion, it is possible to say that the smart structures can be used in active noise control of ducts with splitters and the advantages and disadvantages of the conveyed technique were presented. / Neste trabalho, foi estudada a proposta da utilização de estruturas inteligentes para o controle de ruído em um duto acústico com propagação de modos de alta ordem. A técnica mais adequada para este controle foi o particionamento do duto a fim de planificar as ondas que se propagam. Nesta região particionada, é possível realizar o controle ativo de ruído utilizando apenas um sensor e um atuador para cada lado da partição. A aplicação das estruturas inteligentes é proposta no sentido de aproveitar a placa particionadora para que, com a sua vibração, atuará como a fonte secundária necessária para o controle. Para a avaliação da possibilidade de controle utilizando esta técnica, primeiramente foi modelado o comportamento de uma placa instrumentada com atuadores piezoelétricos e, em seguida, obtida a modelagem analítica do campo sonoro gerado por uma estrutura vibrante no interior de um duto. Porém, a obtenção do campo acústico em um duto particionado não é facilmente obtido, sendo, então, realizada através da técnica de Síntese Modal de Componentes. Utilizando as equações do duto excitado por uma estrutura vibrante na técnica de síntese modal, foi possível obter campo acústico gerado no interior de um duto particionado. A partir disto, foram realizados simulações de controle ativo de ruído variando o trecho da placa a ser excitado para tons puros e para ruídos de banda estreita. Nesta última situação também foi avaliada a influência da quantidade de atuadores instalados. Concluiu-se deste trabalho que é possível a utilização de estruturas inteligentes no controle ativo de ruído em dutos particionados, sendo apresentadas suas vantagens e desvantagens. / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

O controle ativo de ruído em dutos: um estudo teórico -experimental / The active noise control in ducts: a theoretical experimental study

Nuñez, Israel Jorge Cárdenas 07 October 2005 (has links)
Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro / This work is dedicated to the study of the problem of active noise control, evaluating some numerical and experimental methodologies. The analysis is restricted to the case of noises in ducts, in which the acoustic propagation phenomena are modeled. Four approaches for this type of models are presented. The first one is formulated by using the basic equations of the acoustics. This procedure generates an infinite dimension model of the duct. In the second approach, the infinite model is truncated by using Taylor s series. The third approach performs a modal expansion using the poles of the infinite dimension model, and, in the fourth, it is also considered a modal expansion, but in this case, by taking into account zeros and poles of the infinite dimension model. The four models studied are discussed and compared in the present contribution. A second part of this work is concerned with active noise control techniques. Monochannel (which uses only a loud speaker and a microphone) and multi-channel (which uses several loud speakers and microphones) controllers are studied. The studied active noise controllers use LMS adaptive algorithms. The noise signals are filtered using X-LMS techniques. These types of controller are usually simple and robust. The coefficients of the controller (modeled as a digital filter) are determined by using an online adaptive procedure looking for minimizing the noise levels. The control methodologies are tested numerically by using the mathematical model of the acoustic duct proposed. With the aim of validating experimentally these controllers a test rig instrumented with loud speakers and microphones was built, and the algorithms were implemented using a personal computer. At the remaining, the numerical and experimental results are discussed and some suggestions are presented in order to continue future works. / Este trabalho formula e discorre sobre o problema de controle ativo de ruído e avalia algumas metodologias de controle tanto numérica como experimentalmente. A análise é restrita ao caso de ruídos em dutos, onde o fenômeno da propagação acústico é analiticamente modelado. Apresentam-se quatro abordagens para tal modelagem. A primeira, formulada a partir das equações fundamentais da acústica, gera um modelo de dimensão infinita para o duto. A segunda aproxima o modelo infinito por uma série truncada de Taylor. A terceira formulação realiza uma expansão modal, a partir dos pólos do modelo de dimensão infinita e a quarta, também realiza uma expansão modal, mas considera tanto os pólos como os zeros do modelo infinito dimensional. No trabalho são discutidos e comparados os quatro modelos numéricos propostos. Numa segunda parte este trabalho discorre-se sobre diversas técnicas de controle ativo de ruído em dutos. São estudados controladores do tipo mono canal, que utilizam um sensor e um atuador apenas e controladores do tipo multicanal, com vários sensores e atuadores. Todos os controladores ativos de ruído (CAR) estudados utilizam algoritmos adaptativos do tipo LMS (Least Mean Square) e técnicas de filtragem-X LMS. Este tipo de controlador tem como características marcantes à simplicidade e a robustez. Os coeficientes do controlador, modelado como um filtro digital, são adaptados on-line segundo uma estratégia que busca minimizar os ruídos não desejados. Estas metodologias de controle são testadas numericamente a partir do modelo matemático proposto para o duto acústico. Para avaliar também experimentalmente tais controladores, montou-se uma bancada de testes constituída por um duto de PVC instrumentada com alto falantes e microfones sendo os algoritmos de controle implementados em um microcomputador pessoal devidamente configurado. O trabalho encerra discutindo os resultados numéricos e experimentais obtidos e sugerindo desdobramentos a serem investigados no futuro. / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica

Contrôle actif acoustique du bruit large bande dans un habitacle automobile / Active control of broadband noise in a car cabin

Loiseau, Paul 28 October 2016 (has links)
L’atténuation des bruits gênants dans une automobile est classiquement réalisée par ajustement des caractéristiques mécaniques du véhicule : masse, raideur et amortissement. C’est une approche dite passive. Malheureusement, elle induit un ajout de masse important pour traiter les basses fréquences. Le contrôle actif de bruit (atténuation d’un bruit par superposition d’un contrebruit) est actuellement envisagé comme une solution possible à ce problème. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’évaluer les performances atteignables par cette solution. Un système acoustique étant par essence fortement résonant, sa modélisation sur une large plage de fréquence conduit à des modèles d’ordre élevé, pour l’obtention desquels une méthode d’identification appropriée doit être utilisée. C’est la méthode dessous espaces par approche fréquentielle dans le domaine continu qui a été retenue.La traduction du cahier des charges conduit à un problème de régulation multivariable H1 multi-objectif et multi-modèle avec contrainte de stabilité forte. Par ailleurs, actionneurs et capteurs ne sont pas colocalisés et on ne mesure pas la perturbation à rejeter. La volonté d’évaluer au plus près les performances atteignables justifie la résolution du problème par optimisation non lisse. Cette approche évite tout pessimisme, mais nécessite de par son caractère local une bonne initialisation et une structuration du régulateur parcimonieuse.La méthodologie proposée a été validée en simulation et expérimentalement. Elle permet une évaluation et une comparaison précises des performances atteignables en fonction des contraintes sur les mesures et les moyens d’action disponibles. / Classical methods used for noise reduction in cars are based on adjusting the mechanical properties: mass, stiffness and damping. They are qualified as passive and induce significative addition of weight for reducing low frequency noises. Active noise control is seen as a possible solution to achieve low frequency noise attenuation and weight reduction.The goal of this work is to evaluate achievable performances with such solution.Acoustic enclosures are known to be resonant systems of highorder. Obtaining a model of it, therefore requires a suitable identification method. The approach chosen is based on subspace methods. It processes data in the frequency domain for obtaining a continuous time model.The control problem derived from the specifications is a MIMO H1, multi-objective and multi-model problem with a strong stability constraint. Futhermore, actuators and sensors are not-colocated, and no measure of the disturbance is available. In order to precisely evaluate the achievable performances, this problem is solved using non smooth optimization.Such approach ensures the absence of pessimism, but requires an appropriate initialization and a parsimonious controller structure, because it does not ensure convergence toward the global optimum. The proposed methodology was validated in simulation and experimentally. It allows a precise evaluation and comparison of achievable performances according to the constraints on available measures and means of action.

Active Minimization of Acoustic Energy Density in a Mock Tractor Cab

Faber, Benjamin Mahonri 17 March 2004 (has links) (PDF)
An active noise control (ANC) system has been applied to the problem of attenuating low-frequency tonal noise inside small enclosures. The intended target application of the system was the reduction of the engine firing frequency inside heavy equipment cabins. The ANC system was based on a version of the filtered-x LMS adaptive algorithm, modified for the minimization of acoustic energy density (ED), rather than the more traditional minimization of squared acoustic pressure (SP). Three loudspeakers produced control signals within a mock cabin composed of a steel frame with plywood sides and a Plexiglas® front. An energy density sensor, capable of measuring acoustic pressure as well as acoustic particle velocity, provided the error signal to the control system. The ANC system operated on a single reference signal, which, for experiments involving recorded tractor engine noise, was derived from the engine's tachometer signal. For the low frequencies at which engine firing occurs, experiments showed that ANC systems minimizing ED and SP both provided significant attenuation of the tonal noise near the operator's head and globally throughout the small cabin. The tendency was for ED control to provide a more spatially uniform amount of reduction than SP control, especially at the higher frequencies investigated (up to 200 Hz). In dynamic measurement conditions, with a reference signal swept in frequency, the ED control often provided superior results, struggling less at frequencies for which the error sensor was near nodal regions for acoustic pressure. A single control channel often yielded performance comparable to that of two control channels, and sometimes produced superior results in dynamic tests. Tonal attenuation achieved by the ANC system was generally in excess of 20 dB and reduction in equivalent sound level for dynamic tonal noise often exceeded 4 dB at the error sensor. It was shown that temperature changes likely to be encountered in practice have little effect on the initial delay through the secondary control path, and are therefore unlikely to significantly impact ANC system stability in the event that a fixed set of system identification filter coefficients are employed.
