Spectral Conditions for the Negative Imaginary Property of Transfer Function Matrices

Abstract This paper derives some necessary and sufficient conditions for linear time invariant systems to have the negative imaginary property in both the single-input-single-output as well as the multi-input-multi-output cases. The conditions for a system to be negative imaginary are described in terms of spectral conditions obtained for a given transfer function matrix.
