Signal Processing for Active Control sets out the signal processing andautomatic control techniques that are used in the analysis and implementationof active systems for the control of sound and vibration. After reviewing theperformance limitations introduced by physical aspects of active controlStephen Elliott presents the calculation of the optimal performance and theimplementation of adaptive real time controllers for a wide variety of activecontrol systems.Active sound and vibration control are technologically important problems withmany applications. Active control means controlling disturbance bysuperimposing a second disturbance on the original source of disturbance. Putsimply initial noise other speciallygenerated noise or vibration silenceor controlled noise.This book presents a unified approach to techniques that are used in theanalysis and implementation of different control systems. It includes practicalexamples at the end of each chapter to illustrate the use of variousapproaches.This book is intended for researchers engineers and students in the field ofacoustics active control signal processing and electrical engineering. «
