Abstract

An identification scheme which can be used for discrete time multi-input multi-output time invariant systems is presented. The identification scheme involves two steps; (1) The identification of a set of invariant indices (Structure identification) and (2) The estimation of the parameters of the system (Parametric identification). The technique utilizes a canonical representation of a system which is based on the notion of output injection. This canonical form is dependent on a chosen real number alpha and is therefore called the alpha-canonical form. Least square estimation technique is used for parameter estimation. The off-line version of this identification scheme is presented here. This scheme is then used to generate a linear model of the Space Shuttle Main Engine at the operating point corresponding to the 100% power level from the nonlinear dynamic engine simulation.
