Identification Of Multivariable Ill-Conditioned Sysrems Using Virtual Transfer Function Between Inputs

In industry, processes are often multivariable, and frequently possess strong interactions among the various outputs. Such systems will be ill-conditioned due to the presence of high and low gain directions. The system will respond much more strongly if the input lies in the former than the latter....

description In industry, processes are often multivariable, and frequently possess strong interactions among the various outputs. Such systems will be ill-conditioned due to the presence of high and low gain directions. The system will respond much more strongly if the input lies in the former than the latter.

In view of this, the virtual transfer function between inputs (VTFBI) perturbation signal design is introduced with the aim of improving the accuracy in estimating the smallest singular value. The design takes into account the uniform excitation of all output directions with as large an output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as possible, subject to power constraints at the input and possible bounds at the output.
