Abstract

The system employing and the processing of, an indirectly sensed signal representative of a periodic noise acoustic wave into an input signal for a noise cancelling system where the indirectly sensed signal is converted into a pulse signal per period that carries fundamental and harmonic frequency information of the periodic noise. A tachometer type RPM signal is processed in a counter circuit controlled by a logic circuit to produce a signal of one pulse per revolution with a controlled duration, the pulse amplitude is adjusted, the pulses are low pass filtered and any D.C. is blocked from the noise cancelling system input.
