SYSTEM FOR ACTIVE NOISE CONTROL WITH AN INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE FILTER

An active noise control (ANC) system includes at least one infinite impulse response filter (IIR). The IIR filter generates an output signal based on an input signal representative of an undesired sound. The ANC system generates an anti-noise signal based on the output signal of the IIR filter. The anti-noise signal is used to drive a speaker to generate sound waves to destructively interfere with the undesired sound. The ANC system includes an update system to generate update coefficients. The update system determines the stability of the update coefficients. Coefficients of the IIR filter are replaced with the update coefficients. The update system generates a set of update coefficients for each sample of the input signal.
