Abstract: | In real‐world active noise control (ANC) applications, disturbance can be picked up by error sensors and significantly degrade the steady‐state ANC performance. This study proposes two techniques in combination with a least‐mean‐square (LMS) based ANC algorithm, named normalized filtered‐x LMS/commutation error (NFxLMS/CE) algorithm, to deal with the disturbance that is independent of a reference signal. A new stochastic method to analyze convergence properties of the NFxLMS/CE algorithm under influence of the disturbance is first established. Given that the reference signal is persistently exciting of sufficient order, exponential convergence of the algorithm is derived with a step‐size condition. An exponential‐decay step size (EDSS) is then proposed to obtain a new ANC algorithm referred to as EDSS‐NFxLMS/CE algorithm. In addition, a disturbance‐compensation (DC) technique is developed for the EDSS‐NFxLMS/CE algorithm to obtain an EDSS‐NFxLMS/CE_DC algorithm such that the influence of the disturbance can be reduced. It is shown that the EDSS‐NFxLMS/CE_DC algorithm is exponentially convergent. Moreover, computer simulations show that the EDSS‐NFxLMS/CE_DC algorithm can achieve a better ANC performance in terms of convergence rate and level of noise reduction as compared with that using the EDSS‐NFxLMS/CE algorithm without DC and that using NFxLMS/CE_DC algorithm of constant step sizes. These results support the effectiveness of the proposed techniques and EDSS‐NFxLMS/CE_DC algorithm. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
