Adaptive Filtering Algorithms for Noise Cancelling

When we work with signal processing, this signal is susceptible to the noise interference that can arise from a variety of sources. The noise is the most important environmental factor, which determines the reliability of the system operation in practice. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the development of an adaptive filter algorithm. This filter is going to be applied to the noise cancelling in real-time process. However, it can be used in innumerous applications, such as prediction, identification and inverse modeling of unknown processes. The practical application that we propose in this study is to create a noise source. This noise will be captured by a sensor (microphone), the signal will be then processed by the adaptive filter algorithm and the filter will send a response to a second speaker (Anti-Noise) in order to cancel that noise. The scheme of the practical application is depicted below.
