Adaptive algorithm for active control of impulsive noise

When active noise control (ANC) systems are applied for reducing impulsive noise, conventional adaptive algorithms for ANC may not be effective. In this paper, a new adaptive algorithm for active control of impulsive noise is presented. Compared to the filtered-x least-mean-square algorithm, the proposed algorithm has a much better convergence and stability. Illustrative simulations are conducted to verify the proposed algorithm.
