Identification of Rational Systems with Logarithmic Quantized Data

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the quantized identification of rational systems, where the systems’ output is quantized by a logarithmic quantizer. Under the assumption that the systems’ input is periodic, the identification procedure is categorized into two steps. The first step is to identify the noise-free output of systems based on the quantized data. The second is to identify the unknown parameter based on the input and the estimation of the noise-free output. The identification algorithm is also summarized. Asymptotic convergence of the estimators is analyzed in detail, which shows that the estimators are convergent almost everywhere. A numerical example is given to illustrate the results obtained in this paper.
