Abstract

See full text

Analysis of a linear time-invariant system's sampled output data can identify the unknown continuous-time transfer function of the system. The method excites the system with two orthogonal sinusoids and constructs a linear complex equation that relates the sampled output points to the unknown values of the transfer function. This method can identify the continuous-time dynamics of a hard disk drive system in which the number of servo bursts and the spinning speed of the disk fix the sampling frequency of the output. In the hard disk case the input excitation signal is passed through a specially designed pre-filter and the sampled output data are modified to account for the control input and external disturbances. The method can also be used to reconstruct the output of the system even in the presence of aliasing provided the input excitation can be approximated by a sum of sinusoids with known frequencies.
