Definitions
- the present invention relates to a noise control device, and more particularly to a noise control device that actively reduces noise arriving at a control point.
- FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating a circuit configuration of a conventional noise control device.
- the noise control device includes a noise microphone 9101, an adaptive filter 9201, a control speaker 9401, an error microphone 9501, and a fixed filter 9601.
- the noise control apparatus shown in FIG. 27 performs the noise control by selecting the adaptive filter 9201 when the noise changes due to the position of the noise source or the generation status (for example, fan drive condition: rotation speed, etc.).
- the noise microphone 9101 detects noise from an incoming noise source and outputs it as a noise signal to the adaptive filter 9201.
- the adaptive filter 9201 processes the input noise signal using a filter coefficient to generate a control signal.
- the control signal generated by the adaptive filter 9201 is radiated from the control speaker 9401 toward the control point as a control sound.
- the error microphone 9501 is installed at the control point, and detects noise from a noise source arriving at the control point and control sound from the control speaker 9401 arriving at the control point.
- the adaptive filter 9201 performs processing for updating its own filter coefficient so as to minimize this error signal.
- a specific updating method for example, there is a Filtered-X_LMS method.

- the control point is, for example, the ear of a person who actually hears noise

- the control sound has an adverse effect, and there is a possibility that the noise will increase more than when the control sound is not reproduced (before noise control).
- noise control is performed with the adaptive filter 9201 selected. For this reason, in the noise control device shown in FIG. 27, it is necessary to secure a circuit scale that can execute the coefficient update process in advance, and the circuit scale cannot be reduced. Further, when the filter coefficient of the adaptive filter 9201 is updated, it is necessary to calculate the filter coefficient in real time, so that the processing capacity is strictly required.
