Time Delay Estimation In Signal Processing Applications: An Overview, Aidan O'Dwyer
Time Delay Estimation In Signal Processing Applications: An Overview, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
An extensive though scattered literature exists on the estimation of time delays in signal processing applications. However, it is possible to identify themes that are common to many of the available techniques. The intention of this paper is to provide a framework against which the literature may be viewed. In addition, original work on gradient based time delay estimation is described.
Comparison Of Two B-Polynomial Methods: Application To The Identification Of Time Delayed Processes, Ruiyao Gao, Aidan O'Dwyer
Comparison Of Two B-Polynomial Methods: Application To The Identification Of Time Delayed Processes, Ruiyao Gao, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
An extensive literature exists on the estimation of the model parameters of time delayed processes. The objective of this paper is to review the main B-polynomial approaches to the delay estimation problem. More specifically, two algorithms are discussed and compared theoretically and in simulation. The algorithms involve various procedures to assess how the model relates to the observed data, to a priori knowledge, and to the algorithms’ intended use. Simulation results indicate that both the algorithms can suitably identify the model parameters, including the time delay. This paper also discusses advantages and disadvantages of the methods and gives some guidelines …
Convergence Of Parameter And Delay Estimates Using Open Loop Time Domain Gradient Methods, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Convergence Of Parameter And Delay Estimates Using Open Loop Time Domain Gradient Methods, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
This paper discusses the estimation of the parameters of a single input, single output (SISO) process, modelled in first order lag plus delay (FOLPD) form, using gradient methods in the open loop time domain. The paper considers the convergence of the process parameters to the model parameters. The convergence of the model delay is discussed first, when the non-delay model and process parameters are identical. The convergence of all of the model parameters is then considered, when all of the process parameters are unknown.

Closed Loop Time Domain Gradient Methods For Parameter And Time Delay Estimation, M, Behan, M Cahill, M. Carry, G Clausen, V. Dooley, N. English, W. Grainger, D. O'Connor, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
This paper discusses the estimation of process parameters and time delay, in a Smith predictor structure, using gradient algorithms in the time domain. A number of estimation algorithms are outlined and applied in simulation to the estimation of the parameters of an appropriate process model. An analytical exploration of the technique is also provided.
Model Parameter And Time Delay Estimation In The Frequency Domain, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Model Parameter And Time Delay Estimation In The Frequency Domain, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
This paper discusses the estimation of the parameters (including the time delay) of single input, single output (SISO) process models from an appropriate number of arbitrarily specified points on the process frequency response. The method involves combining an analytical approach with a least squares approach using a gradient algorithm, to provide accurate and robust estimates of the parameters.
Model Parameter And Time Delay Estimation Using Gradient Methods, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Model Parameter And Time Delay Estimation Using Gradient Methods, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
A number of approaches have been proposed for parameter and time delay estimation of process models in single input, single output (SISO) control systems using gradient descent algorithms; some of these approaches involve the selection of a rational polynomial that is used to approximate time delay variations. This paper takes a generalised approach to the investigation of the most appropriate choice of the rational polynomial, and the gradient descent algorithm, to be used.

A Comparison Of Techniques For Time Delay Estimation, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
This paper reviews some of the techniques used for the identification of unknown lumped time delays in single input, single output (SISO) control systems and evaluates a number of these techniques in simulation and in implementation. Both off line and on line identification techniques are considered.
