Abstract
A robust active controller using spatially feedforward structure is proposed for broadband attenuation of noise in ducts. To meet the requirements of performance and robust stability in the presence of plant uncertainties, an H2 cost function and an H(infinity) constrain are employed in the synthesis of the controller. The design is then converted into a convex programming problem using Q-parametrization and frequency discretization. An optimal controller that satisfies the quadratic cost functions and linear inequality constraints can be found by sequential quadratic programming. The optimal controller was implemented via a digital signal processor (DSP) and verified by experiments. Experiment results showed that the system attained 16.5 dB maximal attenuation and 5.9 dB total attenuation in the frequency band 200-600 Hz.
