Application of least squares lattice algorithm to active noise control for automobile

Abstract

The paper proposes an algorithm for active noise control (ANC) using the least squares lattice (LSL) algorithm. As a main algorithm for ANC, the LMS algorithm has been used for its simplicity. However, the LMS algorithm has problems of both convergence speed and estimation accuracy in the case of the broadband noise such as road noise which is one of the passenger compartment noises in a car running on rough roads. In order to solve these problems, the LSL algorithm for ANC is considered. By computer simulations, the LSL algorithm turns out to be more effective than the LMS algorithm in both convergence speed and estimation accuracy, especially for the colored input signal used in ANC of road noise.
