Frequency domain decomposition

The frequency domain decomposition (FDD) is an output-only system identification technique popular in civil engineering, in particular in structural health monitoring. As an output-only algorithm, it is useful when the input data is unknown. FDD is a modal analysis technique which generates a system realization using the frequency response given (multi-)output data.[1][2]

Algorithm

  1. Estimate the power spectral density matrix \hat{G}_{yy}(j\omega) at discrete frequencies \omega = \omega_i.
  2. Do a singular value decomposition of the power spectral density, i.e. \hat{G}_{yy}(j \omega_i) = U_i S_i U_i^H where U_i = [u_{i1},u_{i2},...,u_{im}] is a unitary matrix holding the singular values u_{ij}, S_i is the diagonal matrix holding the singular values s_{ij}.
  3. For an n degree of freedom system, then pick the n dominating peaks in the power spectral density using whichever technique you wish (or manually). These peaks correspond to the mode shapes.[1]
    1. Using the mode shapes, an input-output system realization can be written.
