Abstract:

Measuring the frequency response of transfer functions is a fundamental and ubiquitous experimental task. Optimal experimental design is a field that broadly concerns itself with reducing the cost of experiments. I'll report on current work that uses optimal experimental design to provide tools for better transfer function measurements. In particular, the focus is the design of optimal excitation signals. Preliminary results indicatenontrivial improvements in measurement accuracy and decreased measurement
time.
