Abstract
An electronic system includes a fan module, a reference microphone, a micro speaker module, and an active noise cancellation controller. The micro speaker module provides a noise-cancellation signal according to a micro speaker control signal for canceling the noises generated during the operation of the electronic system. The reference microphone outputs a wide-band noise signal associated with the operation of the fan module. The active noise cancellation controller outputs a virtual error signal according to a first transfer function between the reference microphone and a physical microphone when the fan module operates with a predetermined fan speed, a second transfer function between the micro speaker module and the physical microphone when the fan module is not in operation, and the wide-band noise signal. The active noise cancellation controller provides the micro speaker control signal according to a synchronization signal, the wide-band noise signal and the virtual error signal.
