    摘要: A personal audio device, such as a wireless telephone, generates an anti-noise signal from an error microphone signal and injects the anti-noise signal into the speaker or other transducer output to cause cancellation of ambient audio sounds. The error microphone is also provided proximate the speaker to provide an error signal indicative of the effectiveness of the noise cancellation. A secondary path estimating adaptive filter is used to estimate the electro-acoustical path from the noise canceling circuit through the transducer so that source audio can be removed from the error signal. Noise bursts are injected intermittently and the adaptation of the secondary path estimating adaptive filter controlled, so that the secondary path estimate can be maintained irrespective of the presence and amplitude of the source audio.

    摘要: A sound masking system for shaping the ambient noise level in a physical environment. The sound masking system comprises a networked and distributed system having a number of master units coupled together and to a control unit. One or more of the master units may include satellite sound masking units which function to reproduce the sound masking signal generated by the master sound masking unit. Each of the master units is addressable over the network by the control unit enabling the control unit to program the contour, spectral band, and gain characteristics of the sound masking output signal. The system may also include a remote control unit which provides the capability to tune and adjust each master sound masking unit in situ without requiring physical access through the ceiling installation.

    摘要: Systems and methods for adaptive feed-forward noise cancellation. The system includes a plurality of reference microphones, an error microphone, a secondary path module, an adaptation controller, and a canceller filter. A finite impulse response (“FIR”) based plant model is converted to an infinite impulse response (“IIR”) based plant model using balanced model reduction. Due to the inherent instability of the adaptive IIR filter, the Schur-Cohn stability test is applied to the denominator coefficients of the IIR filter transfer function to determine the stability of the noise cancellation system. A secondary path of the noise cancellation system is identified in an on-line manner in the secondary path module. If the energy level of the communication signal (e.g., a music signal) is strong, secondary path identification is performed. The adaptation controller controls the updating of the IIR transfer function based on the stability determination and the secondary path. An anti-noise signal is then generated and added to the communication signal. The anti-noise signal is generated within approximately 60 or fewer micro-seconds.

    摘要: A communication device, an apparatus, and a method for acoustic echo cancellation which makes use of a pseudonoise signal. An audio mixer adds the pseudonoise signal to an input signal received from another communication device to produce a first composite signal. An audio system converts the first composite signal to sound in an at least partially enclosed space. The at least partially enclosed space produces an acoustical echo in response. The audio system then converts the acoustical echo and other sounds in the at least partially enclosed space to a second composite signal. A signal processor cross-correlates the second composite signal with the pseudonoise signal to produce an estimate of the overall impulse response of the combined system formed by the at least partially enclosed space and the audio system. The processor then convolves the first composite signal with the impulse response estimate to produce an echo estimation signal. The echo estimation signal is an estimate of the component of the second composite signal which corresponds to the acoustical echo. The processor then subtracts the echo estimation signal from the second composite signal to produce an output signal.
