Spin-off applications of active vibration damping to noise reduction

Abstract The rapidly growing development in microelectronics, the enormous improvement of computational power of microprocessors as well as the development of sensors and actuators but also the necessity in problem solutions pushed the research activities in active vibration damping. In this paper it will be demonstrated, that similar techniques as for active vibration damping can also be applied for noise reduction. Different applications in the area of active vibration damping for space applications and noise reduction will be reported. The results are demonstrated in real hardware experiments.
