A method for suppressing knocking in a cylinder assembly of an aircraft engine by an aircraft engine controller, comprising: receiving an input signal from at least one knock detection sensor of a set of knock detection sensors, each knock detection sensor of the set of knock detection sensors being carried by a corresponding cylinder assembly of the aircraft engine; detecting knocking in the cylinder assembly corresponding to the at least one knock detection sensor when the input signal exceeds a signal threshold value; in response to detecting the knocking in the cylinder assembly, adjusting a cylinder operation parameter of the cylinder assembly corresponding to the at least one knock detection sensor; generating an average non-knocking signal value corresponding to an average of the input signals received and detected as non-knocking signals in the cylinder assembly; comparing an engine speed of the aircraft engine with a threshold engine speed value; and subtracting the average non-knocking signal value from an input signal value associated with the input signal prior to comparing the input signal to the signal threshold value when the engine speed of the aircraft engine exceeds the threshold engine speed value; wherein receiving the input signal from at least one knock detection sensor of a set of knock detection sensors comprises: generating a knock signal corresponding to the input signal when the input signal is received from the at least one knock detection sensor as the piston translates from about a top dead center position within the cylinder assembly to about a halfway position within the cylinder assembly; filtering the input signal when the input signal is received from the at least one knock detection sensor as the piston translates between about the halfway position within the cylinder assembly to about a bottom dead center position within the cylinder assembly and as the piston translates between about the bottom dead center position within the cylinder assembly to about a top dead center position within the cylinder assembly; and detecting knocking in the cylinder assembly comprises detecting knocking in the cylinder assembly corresponding to the at least one knock detection sensor when the knock signal exceeds the signal threshold value. receiving an input signal from at least one knock detection sensor of a set of knock detection sensors, each knock detection sensor of the set of knock detection sensors being carried by a corresponding cylinder assembly of the aircraft engine; detecting knocking in the cylinder assembly corresponding to the at least one knock detection sensor when the input signal exceeds a signal threshold value; in response to detecting the knocking in the cylinder assembly, adjusting a cylinder operation parameter of the cylinder assembly corresponding to the at least one knock detection sensor; generating an average non-knocking signal value corresponding to an average of the input signals received and detected as non-knocking signals in the cylinder assembly; comparing an engine speed of the aircraft engine with a threshold engine speed value; and subtracting the average non-knocking signal value from an input signal value associated with the input signal prior to comparing the input signal to the signal threshold value when the engine speed of the aircraft engine exceeds the threshold engine speed value; generating a knock signal corresponding to the input signal when the input signal is received from the at least one knock detection sensor as the piston translates from about a top dead center position within the cylinder assembly to about a halfway position within the cylinder assembly; filtering the input signal when the input signal is received from the at least one knock detection sensor as the piston translates between about the halfway position within the cylinder assembly to about a bottom dead center position within the cylinder assembly and as the piston translates between about the bottom dead center position within the cylinder assembly to about a top dead center position within the cylinder assembly; and detecting knocking in the cylinder assembly comprises detecting knocking in the cylinder assembly corresponding to the at least one knock detection sensor when the knock signal exceeds the signal threshold value.
