Remote sensing using multi-microphone configurations for local active noise control applications

Abstract

In local active noise control applications it is often impractical or even impossible to place sensors at the locations where the sound field is to be controlled. To overcome this limitation, virtual sensing methods are used to project the zones of quiet away from the physical sensors to the position of interest. This study investigates the use of multi-microphone configurations for the estimation of a wide-sense stationary, single-frequency, diffuse sound field with the Remote Microphone Technique. Linear and circular arrays of three-dimensional microphone configurations were evaluated through numerical simulations, and the findings indicate that multi-microphone setups lead to increased estimation accuracy over larger areas compared to conventional single microphone arrays. Additionally, the effect of regularisation on the estimation error and spatial extent of the estimation zones was also studied and is shown to significantly affect the performance of dense microphone configurations.
