早產兒由於身體發育尚未成熟即出生，因此必須暫時在保溫箱中生長，並且受到一些儀器如呼吸器、心電圖儀與腦波儀等輔助並監視生理功能，然而這些儀器再加上醫院的警報器、對講機所發出的聲音將會對保溫箱內的早產兒產生干擾，造成不安。為避免保溫箱內早產兒受到噪音影響，因此在本論文中採行主動式噪音控制(ANC)方法，採用1×2×2單參考/多輸出之多通道FXLMS演算法，以早產兒頭部產生靜音區為概念，降低噪音影響。
本系統使用Real-time windows target在PC底下進行控制器運作，並搭配訊號感測電路、放大電路、處理電路、制動器電路及擷取電路等構成ANC系統。
在測試上，由訊號產生器產生幾種不同的訊號送至揚聲器，模擬保溫箱內噪音，實驗結果可以得知，誤差麥克風與揚聲器的擺放位置將會對消音效能有所影響外，多通道的消音效果可以達到數dB，甚至數十dB以上。

There is much acoustic noise around the incubators, including the sounds of the medical instruments, the rings of the intercoms, alarms etc. The acoustic noises will affect premature infants in the incubators, and cause disquiet in them. In order to make the premature infants living in a quiet environment, noises in the incubators needs to be removed. In this paper, we use ANC method and adopt 1×2×2 multi-channel FXLMS algorithm to build a quiet zone around the premature infant’s head.
The ANC controller is PC-based, using real-time windows target to implement the algorithm. Pure sine waves, square waves, and amplitude-modulated (AM) waves were used as the noise sources in the incubator. Results show that noise can be substantially reduced.
