چکیده
The Empirical Transfer Function Estimate (ETFE) is the ratio of the Fourier transforms of the output and input signals of a system. It works well when the input signal is deterministic and exactly known. However, when the input signal is random, or it can only be observed with an observation error, the quality of the ETFE deteriorates. Its variance can be infinite even for large signal-to-noise ratios. This is not well known. This paper establishes and analyzes a mathematical model of the ETFE with noisy input signals. It explains the cause of the large variance and suggests modifications which eliminate the above problems.

Facts and fiction in spectral analysis
This analysis is limited to the spectral analysis of stationary stochastic processes with unknown spectral density. The main spectral estimation methods are: parametric with time series models, or nonparametric with a windowed periodogram. A single time series model will be chosen with a statistical criterion from three previously estimated and selected models: the best autoregressive (AR) mode...
متن کاملIndependent scaling of a delay in frequency-domain system identification
In frequency-domain identification of systems with delay, the delay can be scaled independently of the transfer function to which it is associated. Practical examples show that in most situations, the delay is properly scaled with the commonly used scaling. Examples have been provided where independent scaling can be useful to improve numerical conditioning and to enhance identifiability. Algor...
متن کاملNonparametric identification assuming two noise sources: a deconvolution approach
Nonparametric identification of linear systems is investigated in this paper. Nonparametric identification is the estimation of the time record of the impulse response of the system. It is a deconvolution problem, i.e., inverse operation of the convolution of the impulse response and the excitation signal. The problem is ill posed, i.e., deconvolution amplifies the measurement noise to a great ...
متن کاملBroadband versus stepped sine FRF measurements
In this paper, the required measurement time to measure a transfer function with a specified accuracy is analyzed. The waiting time that is needed to balance the transient induced errors against the noise errors is calculated. This allows one to decide under what conditions broad-band measurements are faster than stepped sine measurements.
متن کاملProperties of the IEEE-STD-1057 four-parameter sine wave fit algorithm
The IEEE Standard 1057 (IEEE-STD-1057) provides algorithms for fitting the parameters of a sine wave to noisy discrete time observations. The fit is obtained as an approximate minimizer of the sum of squared errors, i.e. the difference between observations and model output. The contributions of this paper include a comparison of the performance of the four-parameter algorithm in the standard wi...
