Abstract

Software/Hardware Implementation of an Adaptive Noise Cancellation SystemThis paper provides details of our electrical engineering program efforts to introducesoftware/hardware design concepts and tools in senior-level and senior-design courses. Thepaper provides details of laboratory exercises and a senior project to implement adaptive filtersusing variations of the least mean square (LMS) and the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithmsand the use of adaptive filters designed using these algorithms in the design of adaptive noisecancellation system. The paper also details the implementation of the adaptive noise cancellationsystem on three different families FPGA boards. Advantages and disadvantages of each of theseimplementations will also be presented. The paper will also detail the challenges involved inteaching continually-evolving software/hardware design tools and the efforts made to reducetheir learning times. The paper will also report on the assessment student learning outcomesassociated with this project including: a) Increasing students’ understanding ofhardware/software system design tools, implementation methodologies, and professionalpractices; and b) improving student awareness of contemporary issues in system engineeringdesign and their relation to their professional career opportunities.
