Abstract
Embodiments of a diagnostic tool for an active noise cancelling system are presented. The diagnostic tool may generate an output from the active noise cancelling system and capture input to the active noise cancelling system that results from the output of the active noise cancelling system. The diagnostic tool may generate visual output to aid in evaluation of active noise cancelling systems.
Claims20
A diagnostic tool for an active noise cancelling system, comprising:
- a controller including executable instructions stored in non-transitory memory that cause the controller to initiate an impulse response diagnostic for the active noise cancelling system, where the impulse response diagnostic includes performing a cross-correlation between a reference impulse response and an impulse response of the active noise cancelling system.
An active noise cancelling system diagnostic method, comprising:
- supplying a broadband signal to a speaker of an active noise cancelling system;
- sensing audible output of the speaker responding to the broadband signal via a microphone;
- and
- performing cross-correlation analysis on an impulse response generated from a signal output from the microphone sensing the audible output of the speaker.
An end of an assembly line diagnostic tool for an active noise cancelling system, comprising:
- a controller including executable instructions stored in non-transitory memory of a vehicle being assembled on the assembly line that cause the controller to initiate an impulse response diagnostic for the active noise cancelling system while the vehicle is positioned at the end of the assembly line, where the impulse response diagnostic includes generating correlation coefficients for a plurality of microphones and accelerometers, and generating an output on a display in response to the generated correlation coefficients.
