Efficient Construction of Transfer Functions from Frequency Response Data

In this paper, we present a novel non-iterative algorithm to identify linear time-invariant systems from frequency response data. The algorithm is related to the recent time-domain subspace identification techniques. Promising results are obtained when the algorithm is applied to the real frequency data originating from a large flexible structure. A robustness analysis is performed and under weak conditions on the measurement noise, it is shown that the algorithm is consistent
