Conventional noise control systems often utilize several sensors: at least one to measure the noise field and another one to measure the attenuated noise. However, theformer suffers from the so-called "acoustic feedback" problem that often leads to systeminstability. This thesis presents a new, simple and yet effective configuration by usingonly one sensor for active noise control. The controller is a finite impulse response (FIR)adaptive filter with the filtered-X LMS algorithm. Active noise control is conducted byfirst identifying the actuator dynamics. Both simulations and experiments show that thissingle sensor/actuator configuration can effectively attenuated the low-frequency noise.
