Fault detection method of secondary sound source in ANC system based on impedance characteristics

Abstract

As an indispensable component in an active noise control system, the working states of the secondary sound sources affect directly noise reduction and the robustness of the system. Therefore, it is very crucial to detect the working states of the secondary sound sources in the process of active control in real time. In this study, a real-time fault detection method for secondary sound sources during the process of active control is presented, and the corresponding detection algorithm is numerically given and experimentally verified. By collecting the input voltage and output current of the speaker unit, the sound quality factor is calculated to comprehensively judge the working state of the secondary sound sources. The simulation and experimental results show that the present method is simple and has low computational cost, can accurately reflect accurately the working states of the secondary sound sources in real time, and provides a basis for judging the operation of the active noise control system.
