The adaptive m filters is more effective than m filters when acoustic feedback exists, in which cause an order of a FIR filter must be very large if some of poles of the ideal control filter are near the unit circle. But the IIR filters may have stability problems especially when the adaptive algorithm is not converged. In this paper, a stabilizing procedure for adaptive IIR filters is proposed. In the beginning of the ANC system, it improve a stability by pulling the poles of the IIR filter to the center of the unit circle, and it returns the poles to their original positions after the filter converge. Computer simulations and experiments are performed to show the effectiveness of proposed schemes.
