In this paper, a detailed sensitivity analysis of the active manipulation scheme for scalar Helmholtz fields proposed in our previous works, in both free space and constant-depth homogeneous ocean environments, is presented. We apply the method of moments (MoM) together with Tikhonov regularization with Morozov discrepancy principle to investigate the effects of problem parameters variations on the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed active field control strategy. We discuss the feasibility of the active scheme (power budget and control accuracy) as a function of the frequency, the distance between the control region and the active source, the mutual distance between the control regions, and the size of the control region. Process error is considered as well to investigate the possibility of an accurate active control in the presence of manufacturing noise. The numerical simulations show the accuracy of the active field control scheme and indicate some challenges and limitations for its physical implementations.
