Abstract

An anti-noise signal generator and a method of generating an anti-noise signal are presented. The anti-noise generator includes a first microphone input to receive a first sigma-delta modulated signal at a microphone sampling frequency. The first microphone input is coupled to a combiner via a first path and a second path. The combiner is adapted to combine a first filtered signal from the first path and a second filtered signal from the second path to generate the anti-noise signal. The first path includes a first digital filter adapted to operate at a filter frequency equal or greater than the microphone sampling frequency. The second path includes a second digital filter. The first digital filter may be a sigma-delta based filter that includes a sigma-delta modulator.
