Novel Variable Step-Size Gradient Adaptive Lattice Algorithm for Active Noise Control

Abstract

In this paper, a novel variable step-size filtered-x gradient adaptive lattice (NVSS-FxGAL) algorithm for active noise control system is proposed. The gradient adaptive lattice (GAL) algorithm is capable of controlling the narrow band noise effectively. The GAL algorithm can achieve both fast convergence rate and low steady-state level using the variable step-size. However, it suffers from the convergence performance for varying signal characteristic since the global variable step-size is equally applied to all lattice stages. Therefore, the proposed algorithm guarantees the stable and consistency convergence performance by using the local variable step-size for the suitable each lattice stage. Simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm can obtain the fast convergence rate and low steady-state level compared to the conventional algorithms.
