Implications of causality in active control.
Implications of causality in active control.
In an active control system a number of secondary sources of sound or vibration are driven by electrical signals; these are derived from detection sensors and then passed through some form of electronic controller. The transfer function of the controller required to achieve optimal attenuation can be derived analytically for a number of active control problems. The impulse response of these 'ideal' controllers can then be calculated. This paper begins with a discussion of one simple type of active control system which has a causal ideal controller. Another example of active control is then introduced whose ideal controller is not causal under certain conditions. In order to simplify the physical interpretation of the results, examples are chosen which involve the propagation of plane waves of sound in a duct.

Abstract
In an active control system a number of secondary sources of sound or vibration are driven by electrical signals; these are derived from detection sensors and then passed through some form of electronic controller. The transfer function of the controller required to achieve optimal attenuation can be derived analytically for a number of active control problems. The impulse response of these 'ideal' controllers can then be calculated. This paper begins with a discussion of one simple type of active control system which has a causal ideal controller. Another example of active control is then introduced whose ideal controller is not causal under certain conditions. In order to simplify the physical interpretation of the results, examples are chosen which involve the propagation of plane waves of sound in a duct.
