### Check whether a system has memory or not

My question is whether the systems below are memoryless or not: $1.) \ y(t)=K$ where $K$ is a constant $2.) \ y(t) = x(t_0)$ where $t_0$ is a constant So, from the definition I have been using so far ...

### What is the difference between a causal system and a system with memory?

As far as I know, memoryless systems are causal systems. But why aren't systems with memory necessarily causal? Since the system with memory is affected by past input and current input, I think that ...

### How to find the perfect regularization number?

I have an issue! Assume that we are going to solve $Ax=b$ but $x$ contains noise.To minimize that noise we can use regularization: $$x = (A^TA + \lambda I)^{-1}A^Tb$$ Where $\lambda$ is a small ...

### Why does this transfer function estimation not work? System identification

Goal: I have an unknow dynmical system $G(s)$ and I want to find it from measurement data, output $y(t)$ and input $u(t)$. The data is frequency responses. Method: I begun first with creating the ...

### Characterizing an unknown LTI system

What are the best approaches to characterize an unknown discrete time LTI system? I believe one of the approaches is to input a known input and measure the output to find a transfer function. What are ...

### Why is the error between the desired signal and estimated signal in the case of LMS filter remaining constant even after n number of iterations

I am giving white noise as input to an adaptive filter which is initialized to zero (value of filter coefficients of adaptive filter is 0). I am getting a desired response $d(n)$ by passing white ...

### Stabilizing the inverse transform of a system

Currently I am trying to understand an unknown mechatronic system. I used white noise as an input signal and measured the output of the system. Then I estimated a second order SISO transfer function (...

### Confusion about systems involving integrals

$$y_1(t)=\int_a^tx(τ)dτ$$ $$y_2(t)=\int_a^bx(t)dt$$ I'm confused about what are the input signals in each of these systems. To my understanding, in the second case the input signal is $x$ since both ...

### Unstable plant transfer function identification

I would like to find the transfer function of an unknown unstable SISO plant. If it was a stable plant, I would input a sine sweep and measure the frequency response at the output; but I cannot do ...

### As of 2019, which discrete nonlinear, time-invariant systems with memory are considered "easy" to model and identify?

There are several types of discrete nonlinear time-invariant systems with memory ("NTIM") which are considered "easy" to model and identify. Any such system can be represented using a Volterra series, ...

### System Identification with a Limited Bandwidth Input Signal and Region of Interest

Given a FIR filter $h[n]$. Its action can described as: $$\mathbf{y} = \mathbf{H} \mathbf{x} \\ \mathbf{y} = \mathbf{X} \mathbf{h}$$ where $\mathbf{H}$ and $\mathbf{X}$ is a Toeplitz matrix. If $h$...

### Does $y[n] = x[n] \star (u[n]-u[n-2])$ have memory or is it memoryless?

$y[n] = x[n] \star (u[n]-u[n-2])$, by its definition is has to be a system with memory since it is depended from a fraction of time in the past, but if we calculate the difference $u[n]-u[n-2]$, it ...

### Is it possible to estimate variance of noise for a step answer signal?

I know there is not possible to find the true noise of a measured signal. The only way to "find" the noise is to estimate the noise. Noise has the mean 0, but the variance varies. So assume that we ...
