Transfer function identification by using self-oscillations

Abstract

The work presented in this paper deals with the process of transfer function identification by using self-oscillation method (autotuning identification method). The algorithm is given in a general matrix form and some modifications are introduced. The modifications of the algorithm include augmentation of the initial algorithm for Type k systems, systems with delays and discrete-time systems. The paper also includes simulation examples which describe the introduced modifications. Apart from being rather simple, this method is applicable to real systems. Its greatest advantage is quick identification of a transfer function (depends on the system).
