Fixed-Order Optimal Controller Design of an ANC Headphone

This thesis presents a feedback design for an active noise cancellation (ANC) headphone. The designed ANC headphone consists of an analog controller, an audio power amplifier, a headphone speaker, a mini microphone, and a microphone amplifier, which constitute a feedback loop. The controller design follows the method of feedback sensitivity shaping with degree constraint introduced by R. Nagamune and A. Blomqvist in 2005. The advantage of this method is that it eliminates the needs for choosing an analytic weighting function and performing model reduction to yield a lower-order controller, as commonly required in conventional H2/H¡Û optimizations. A fifth-order analog controller for the ANC headphone is designed. The experimental result shows a maximum acoustic noise reduction of 19.7 dB near 200 Hz and an overall noise reduction of more than 10 dB in the control frequency band from 107 Hz to 523 Hz. Moreover, the out-of-band noise amplification is limited to a barely noticeable level of 4.26 dB.
