Abstract: A noise source for an aircraft engine active noise cancellation system in which the resonant frequency of a noise radiating element is tuned to permit noise cancellation over a wide range of frequencies. The resonant frequency is tuned by adjusting the size of a frame which encloses the noise radiating element. One or more expandable elements are disposed in the frame to produce expansion and contraction of the frame. The elements are actuated by a controller which receives input of a feedback signal proportional to displacement of the noise radiating element and a signal corresponding to the blade passage frequency of the engine's fan. In response, the controller determines a control signal which is sent to the elements and causes the frame to expand or contract.
