Abstract

Given measured frequency response data from a linear system (amplitude ratio and phase shift) at a significant number of frequencies, one can use a recently developed rational approximation algorithm to find a reasonable model of the system (in the transfer function form) with H-norm error estimates. The H-norm error can be made arbitrarily small by increasing the order of the approximant and therefore leads to models which are sufficient for robust controller designs. The algorithm uses FFT type calculations which make it convenient to use and computationally well behaved. The use of the algorithm for system identification along with some aids developed to make it easier to use will be described.

The research reported on here was supported by NSF grant DMS 9002919.
