Suppression Of Interfering Signals At The Reproducing Side (e.g., Noise, Etc.) (epo) Patents (Class 386/E9.006)
  • Patent number: 11940417
    Abstract: A flexural wave absorption system detects, with a sensor attached to a beam, an incident wave propagating in the beam. The system determines, based on a signal from the sensor generated in response to the incident wave, an amplitude and phase of the incident wave propagating in the beam and controls an actuator connected to the beam to generate a suppression wave, based on the amplitude and the phase of the incident wave, that reduces a coefficient of reflection of the incident wave across a broadband frequency range.
