This work presents a novel feedforward adaptive noise control (ANC) algorit
hm based on multivariable gradient lattice filters to control acoustic nois
e or vibration globally. In addition, a gradient-based lattice for AR and F
IR models and its transpose lattice for the multivariable ANC algorithm are
derived. The filter has different forward and backward reflection coeffici
ent matrices to provide a faster convergence than the gradient lattice algo
rithm when using the same reflection coefficient matrices. Experimental res
ults demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in controlling
broadband acoustic noise in an enclosure.
