โฆ Synopsis
The design of an active noise control system involves several steps. One of the most important is to find the best locations of the control sources and error sensors according to the primary source distribution and its spectrum. Thus the first step in this optimization problem is to obtain an analytical expression for the primary sound field. In this work this was done by using a spherical harmonics expansion, determined on the basis of measurements of the primary field. It is shown how, by using such an expansion, a method can be developed for optimizing the transducer locations for the case of free field radiation of a period general primary source. Finally it is shown how this measurement database can be used to choose a good compromise between the number and the locations of the error sensors.
