    This document describes the design and implementation of a noise cancellation circuit for headphones. It uses microphones to pick up ambient noise and an electronic circuit to generate a noise-cancelling signal. The circuit uses three op-amp configurations - a non-inverting pre-amp, phase inverter, and inverting amplifier. It works by inverting the noise signal 180 degrees to destructively interfere with and cancel the ambient noise picked up by the microphones. The circuit was successfully built and implemented in a pair of modified headphones to demonstrate noise cancellation.

    Introduction
    In todays noisy world it is hard to find a peaceful place. This
    new technology of noise cancellation can block out unwanted
    noise (signals) around us and achieve that noise free
    environment.

    By picking up ambient sound with a microphone and
    reproducing it out of phase, we can actively cancel or "null" out
    background noise.


    How it works
    The electronics behind this device consists of three op-amp
    circuits. Each circuit uses an op-amp in a different
    configuration.

    The first circuit is a non-inverting pre-amp.
    The second is a unity-gain phase-inverter.
    The third is an inverting headphone amplifier.

    System Overview
    Power Plant used to power the system( 9V DC).
    Microphones picks up the signal and converted into an electrical signal
    with a base-band bandwidth (~20 kHz).
    Non-Inverting pre-amp/High-pass Filter blocks the DC component
    and achieves a significant gain.
    Switch directs the signal between two different paths. It can go through a
    unity gain inverter and/or a controllable inverting amplifier.
    Inverting Amplifier (Unity gain) amplifies the signal.
    Inverting Amplifier cancels the noise.
    Speaker the output from the inverting amplifier goes to the speaker where
    the user can hear either the amplified signal or have a quiet zone.

    Outputs
    Amplifying the signal Canceling the signal
    Applications
    Headphones that have adaptive noise cancellation are used for
    pilots radio headset in jet aircrafts.

    Simply to block unwanted noise from the background.

    Drawbacks/Improvements
    Drawback:
    Consumption of power the headphones require a battery that needs to
    be recharged. It also makes the headphones bulky.
    Works well only if the signal is continuous if the signal is changed
    frequently then the noise will not be cancelled out efficiently.
    Only the hardware static filter was implemented (from 20 kHz to 30 Hz).
    The output is shifted by 45 degrees.
    Improvement:
    Using a regulator that can generate 9V from 9V battery.
    Use a software control dynamic filter to achieve best performance at wide
    frequency range.
    Conclusion
    We have designed and successfully implemented a noise
    cancellation circuit.

    Fast response time is a requirement for noise cancellation
    system.

    Power consumption optimization is particularly important for
    mobile scenarios.
