Matrix Methods for Determining System Poles from Transient Response.
Abstract
The problem treated is that of identifying the poles of a finite order system by observing its transient decay after cessation of input, for a limited time, using (possibly) multiple observation points and experimental repetition. Various approaches are studied, having the common characteristic that a homogeneous matrix equation must be solved. Several techniques that have been given scant attention in the literature are consolidated into the treatment, together with new results including an analytical treatment of the consequences of assuming an excessively high system order, derivation of a statistically unbiased estimate for an intermediate parameter in the solution, new theorems on error effects, a recipe for effective use of the singular value decomposition, a new method for suppression of extraneous poles, an elucidating derivation and extension of the method of Jain, a new form of the problem wherein the system poles are eigenvalues, and a study of the relationship between various pole identification methods.
