Network-based Learning of Active Noise Control

1 Zbigniew Ogonowski, Silesian University of Technology, 44-100 Gliwice, Akademicka 16, Poland, [email protected] Abstract  The paper presents a concept of network-based learning of Active Noise Control (ANC) problems. Arguments motivating remote experimenting are given. It follows from the presentation that basic experiments can be done automatically using “remote design”. The most important is a structure of the virtual laboratory of ANC (VL ANC). There are four projects that can be conducted in five stages and on three levels of difficulty. All elements of this structure are briefly described and an example of one unit is presented. The role of remote tutor is discussed with special respect to an evaluation process. Four-experiment course covers all the most important problems of ANC design. Students solve problems concerning identification, modeling, excitation signal design, controller design and digital signal processing. For all projects tutorials and illustrative examples of experiments are provided.
