Remote error sensing is required in active noise control systems when they are used to create a quiet zone in a noisy environment with the constraint that the error microphones cannot be inside the zone. The challenge in remote error sensing is to estimate the sound pressure in the target zone with a small number of physical microphones outside it. The spatial harmonic decomposition method uses wave domain sound field parameterisation to reduce the required number of the error microphones but can only provide accurate estimation below a certain frequency. This paper presents an improved approach to increase the effective frequency range based on the acoustic modelling. The simulation results demonstrate the proposed method can provide more than 20 dB noise reduction up to 1650 Hz for a quiet zone with a radius of 0.1 m by using only three microphones under the studied situations.
