Abstract
In this paper, we propose a feedforward active noise control (ANC) system with an optical laser microphone utilizing a proportional-integral-differential (PID) filter. The feedforward ANC system with the optical laser microphone has been proposed to relax the causality constraint. This system adopts a first-order differentiator to modify the velocity picked up by the optical laser microphone. This modification achieves the improvement of the coherence between the velocity as the reference signal and the unwanted noise as the sound pressure. However, the frequency response of the first-order differentiator is similar to the high-pass filter and attenuates the reference signal at low frequencies. This causes the degradation of the noise reduction performance of the conventional ANC system. To solve this problem, the proposed ANC system adopts the PID filter instead of the first-order differentiator. By adjusting the coefficients of the PID filter, the proposed system avoids the attenuation of the reference signal at low frequencies. Then, the noise reduction performance can be improved. Experimental results show that the proposed ANC system reduces the unwanted noise compared to the conventional ANC system and relaxes the causality constraint compared to the basic ANC system in the real-time operation.
