Abstract

Non-minimum phase secondary path has a direct effect on achieving a desired noise attenuation level in active noise control (ANC) systems. The adaptive noise canceling filter is often a causal FIR filter which may not be able to sufficiently equalize the effect of a non-minimum phase secondary path, since in theory only a non-causal filter can equalize it. However a non-causal stable filter can be found to equalize the non-minimum phase effect of secondary path. Realization of non-causal stable filters requires knowledge of future values of input signal. In this paper we develop methods for equalizing the non-minimum phase property of the secondary path and improving the performance of an ANC system by exploiting the periodicity of fMRI acoustic noise. It has been shown that the scanner noise component is highly periodic and hence predictable which enables easy realization of non-causal filtering. Improvement in performance due to the proposed methods (with and without the equalizer) is shown for periodic fMRI acoustic noise.
