Abstract
An adaptive resonance canceller system and method for attenuating narrowband noise signals within an input signal, where the narrowband noise signals may vary significantly in frequency. The sensor comprises a notch filter, an error reference and gradient generator, and a complex correlator circuit for attenuating the narrowband noise component of the input signal. The input signal is applied to the notch filter and to the error reference and gradient generator. The latter component generates an error reference signal and an error gradient signal. These two signals are applied to the complex correlator circuit which, in turn, generates a tuning parameter signal which is applied to the notch filter to tune the filter to the center frequency of the noise component of the input signal. The tuning parameter signal is also applied in closed loop fashion to an input of the error reference and gradient generator such that the error reference and error gradient signals can be modified in accordance with the changing frequency of the noise component. The system and method are particularly well adapted for use with solid state sensors used for generating body rate signals for attitude control in a flight control system, wherein it is undesirable to introduce any phase shift to the body rate signal.
