To address the limitation of conventional adaptive algorithm used for active noise control (ANC) system, this paper proposed and
studied two adaptive algorithms based on Wavelet. e twos are applied to a noise control system including magnetorheological
elastomers (MRE), which is a smart viscoelastic material characterized by a complex modulus dependent on vibration frequency
and controllable by external magnetic elds. Simulation results reveal that the Decomposition LMS algorithm (D-LMS) and
Decomposition and Reconstruction LMS algorithm (DR-LMS) based on Wavelet can signicantly improve the noise reduction
performance of MRE control system compared with traditional LMS algorithm.
1. Introduction
e most popular algorithm used to adapt FIR lters is
the Widrow-Ho LMS [], which is shown in Figure .Its
popularity is due to its low computational complexity and
robustness to implementation errors.
As in Figure , (), (), (),and()denote the refer-
ence of system, disturbance, control error, and control signal,
respectively. e system control signal can be expressed as

where is the step-size parameter. e convergence rate
of this algorithm depends on the condition numbers of
the autocorrelation
𝑥
of the reference signal. When the
eigenvalues of
𝑥
arewidelyspread,theexcessmeansquare
error produced by LMS algorithm is primarily determined by
the largest eigenvalue, and the time taken by the average tap-
weight vector [
()]to converge is limited by the smallest
eigenvalue. However, the speed of convergence of the mean
square error is aected by the spread of the eigenvalues of
𝑥
.
e speed of convergence of the LMS algorithm may
slow down when the correlation matrix of the inputs is
ill-conditioned, which implies that the control system with
Widrow-Ho LMS adaptive algorithm might become unsta-
ble when inputs change indenitely. In order to enhance
the performance of the algorithm, Wavelet Transform is
proposed in this study due to its time-frequency localization
[, ]. is paper presents two kinds of adaptive wavelet
algorithm: Decomposition LMS algorithm (D-LMS) and
Decomposition and Reconstruction LMS algorithm (DR-
LMS).
2. Decomposition LMS Algorithm (D-LMS)
In D-LMS algorithm, the input signal is decomposed
into various wavelet spaces according to various scales to
form the input vector, and then the adaptive lter weight
