Identification of Time-Delay Systems: a State-Space Realization Approach

A state-space realization approach is presented for the identification of time-delay dynamic systems. It is proposed an experiment with low complexity input signals such as the double pulse. The proposed identification method is a generalization of the Ho-Kalman-Kung technique for pulsed input signals. Due to its state-space formulation, it is essentially suitable to both SISO and MIMO systems.
