Subspace-Based Multivariable System-Identification from Frequency-Response Data
Two noniterative subspace-based algorithms which identify linear, time-invariant MIMO (multi-input/multioutput) systems from frequency response data are presented. The algorithms are related to the recent time-domain subspace identification techniques. The first algorithm uses equidistantly, in frequency, spaced data and is strongly consistent under weak noise assumptions. The second algorithm uses arbitrary frequency spacing and is strongly consistent under more restrictive noise assumptions. Promising results are obtained when the algorithms are applied to real frequency data originating from a large flexible structure.
