Abstract:
Infinite impulse response (IIR) Wiener precompensator design, with constraints on causality, is here extended to also incorporate general quadratic constraints.

A method for finding a linear quadratic (LQ) optimal, causal discrete-time Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) filter subject to a set of user defined constraints is proposed and analysed.

A method for designing causal filters subject to constraints on the power gains in a large number of small frequency intervals is also proposed.

The resulting set of methods provide constrained stable IIR filters with optimal parametrization. Compared to finite impulse response (FIR) Wiener filtering, the computational complexity is much lower and compared to non-causal frequency domain designs, we gain control of the time-domain properties of the compensated system.

The design methods are applied to a room compensation audio problem subject to filter power gain constraint(s) and are compared to a corresponding non-causal per-frequency method. The results are presented with audio filtering and sound field control as main motivating applications but the methods extend to other areas of linear feed forward controller design and Wiener filtering.
