Active control of double-glazed windows. Part II: Feedback control

This paper describes an experimental investigation of an actively controlled double-glazed window. It is the second of two companion papers of which the first treated results obtained employing adaptive feedforward control. Herein, the outcome using adaptive feedback control is presented. This adaptive feedback controller has been tested in different configurations, i.e. fully and partially connected controllers. The differences between fully connected controllers with few filter coefficients and partially connected controllers with many filter coefficients are discussed. Additionally, tests with different traffic noise examples have been performed showing the ability of the actively controlled window to enhance protection against traffic noise.
