Abstract
The virtual sensing technique allows the active noise control (ANC) system to work with error microphones that are placed far from the desired zone of quietness (ZoQ). Conventionally, a training stage is required to obtain the auxiliary filters with the temporary error microphones placed in the ZoQ. When the characteristics of the primary noise changes, the auxiliary filters have to be retrained. As a result, the conventional virtual sensing technique can only be used when the frequency band of the primary noise remains unchanged. In order to solve this limitation, this paper proposes a selective virtual sensing technique for the multi-channel feedforward ANC system. The selective virtual sensing technique obtains a bank of auxiliary filters in the subband structure. Based on the frequency-band-matching mechanism, a linear combination of the auxiliary filters is calculated and used in the real-time control stage. Experimental results show that the selective virtual sensing technique achieves better noise reduction performance than the conventional virtual sensing technique when the frequency band of the primary noise fluctuates.
