Boosted Fourier nonlinear filter and boosted even mirror Fourier nonlinear filter for active control of machinery noises

To overcome the limitations of the Fourier nonlinear fi lter and even mirror Fourier nonlinear fi lter-based adaptive algorithms for active noise control, this paper introduces boosted Fourier nonlinear fi lter and boosted even mirror Fourier nonlinear fi lter algorithms. Weight updating equations for the proposed algorithms are derived. Their performance is compared with Fourier nonlinear fi lter and even mirror Fourier nonlinear fi lter. Experimentally recorded bandsaw and compressor noises are utilized for the analysis. The analysis is carried out for (a) linear primary and linear secondary paths, and (b) nonlinear primary path and linear secondary path. Visual inspection of residual noises after control and dB values of residual noises are utilized to understand the performance of the developed algorithms.
