Abstract :
This paper explores inherent feedback limitations of active noise control in ducts by using a single-input, two-output framework and observing properties of closed-loop transfer functions. Performance is assessed using the plant and disturbance alignment angle. We show that the sound levels at the measurement microphone axe amplified when attenuating acoustic energy at the error microphone. We also show that the stability margins can be improved over feedforward control using measurements from two sensors
