Abstract

This paper proposes wave-domain adaptive processing for noise cancellation within a large spatial region. We use fundamental solutions of the Helmholtz wave-equation as basis functions to express the noise field over a spatial region and show the wave-domain processing directly on the decomposition coefficients to control the entire region. A feedback control system is implemented, where only a single microphone array is placed at the boundary of the control region to measure the residual signals, and a loudspeaker array is used to generate the anti-noise signals. We develop the adaptive wave-domain filtered-x least mean square algorithm. Simulation results show that using the proposed method the noise over the entire control region can be significantly reduced with fast convergence in both free-field and reverberant environments.
