Summary: 
A simultaneous equations method is one of active noise control algorithms without estimating an error path. This algorithm requires identification of a transfer function from a reference microphone to an error microphone containing the effect of a noise control filter. It is achieved by system identification of an auxiliary filter. However, the introduction of the auxiliary filter requires more number of samples to obtain the noise control filter and brings a requirement of some undesirable assumption in the multiple channel case. In this paper, a new simultaneous equations method without the identification of the auxiliary filter is proposed. By storing a small number of input signals and error signals, we avoid this identification. Therefore, we can reduce the number of samples to obtain the noise control filters and can avoid the undesirable assumption. From simulation examples, it is verified that the merits of the ordinary method is also retained in the proposed method.
