  • Patent number: 6449369
    Abstract: A filtering device consisting of a nonadaptive feedback filter that generates active attenuation of the vibration on the framework, without generating instability in a first frequency band, and an adaptive feedforward filter is disclosed. Feedforward filtering coefficients are adapted in real time according to an algorithm chosen to minimize the energy of the types of vibration which are picked up by a sensing device as a function of the energy of the types of vibration which are picked up by the sensing device, and of the previously measured transfer function, in the presence of a feedback filtering device and in the absence of a feedforward filtering device, between an actuator device and a first sensing device. The device makes it possible to linearize the feedback attenuation throughout a second frequency band which is wider than the first frequency band, to accelerate the convergence of the minimization algorithm and to enhance the robustness of the feedforward filter.
