Abstract

This paper investigates the affect of input and output noise in an on-line multifrequency measurement of a linear system. A multifrequency periodic ternary signal and a recursive algorithm, which have been introduced by the authors, are used. The results show that measurement can still be achieved in the presence of noise contamination, in either, or both of the input and output channels. The quality of measurement is extremely gratifying and only begins to suffer when the higher frequency harmonics on the output channel are subjected to vigorous noise. This reaction can be accounted for by signal-to-noise ratio criticality
