Application of Fourier Modulating Functions to Parameter Estimation of a Multivariable Linear Differential System

Abstract The parameter estimation of multivariable aircraft perturbation models is developed within the framework of Fourier modulating functions using Shinbrot’s classical method of moment functionals. The technique is applied to a high performance aircraft using flight data, and the results are compared with those obtained using a time domain based maximum likelihood identifier.
