Abstract

When it comes to designing active control disposals, sound pressure sensing is usually required. In the framework of active control of acoustic impedance, this work aims at conceiving a digital estimator that processes voltage and current measurement to compute an estimation of the pressure in the vicinity of the diaphragm of an electro-dynamic speaker. After dealing with modeling concerns of the actuator, the bilinear transform is used to obtain equations of two IIR filters. An adaptive identification using the LMS algorithm and a SVD-based identification are tested to compute filters coefficient, both leading to poor experimental results. Accordingly, the actual transfer functions of the speaker are measured and optimal IIR filters are designed using the simulated annealing algorithm. It is then shown that good results can be achieved experimentally.

Digital filter
In signal processing, a digital filter is a system that performs mathematical operations on a sampled, discrete-time signal to reduce or enhance certain aspects of that signal. This is in contrast to the other major type of electronic filter, the analog filter, which is typically an electronic circuit operating on continuous-time analog signals. A digital filter system usually consists of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to sample the input signal, followed by a microprocessor and some peripheral components such as memory to store data and filter coefficients etc.
Filter design
Filter design is the process of designing a signal processing filter that satisfies a set of requirements, some of which may be conflicting. The purpose is to find a realization of the filter that meets each of the requirements to a sufficient degree to make it useful. The filter design process can be described as an optimization problem where each requirement contributes to an error function that should be minimized. Certain parts of the design process can be automated, but normally an experienced electrical engineer is needed to get a good result.
Linear filter
Linear filters process time-varying input signals to produce output signals, subject to the constraint of linearity. In most cases these linear filters are also time invariant (or shift invariant) in which case they can be analyzed exactly using LTI ("linear time-invariant") system theory revealing their transfer functions in the frequency domain and their impulse responses in the time domain. Real-time implementations of such linear signal processing filters in the time domain are inevitably causal, an additional constraint on their transfer functions.
