Abstract

A controller for an adaptive noise canceling (ANC) system simplifies the design of a stable control response by making the ANC gain of the system independent of a secondary path extending from a transducer of the ANC system to a sensor of the ANC system that measures the ambient noise. The controller includes a fixed filter having a predetermined fixed response, and a variable filter coupled together. The variable response filter compensates for variations of a transfer function of a secondary path that includes at least a path from a transducer of the ANC system to a sensor of the ANC system, so that the ANC gain is independent of the variations in the transfer function of the secondary path.
