Abstract:

The Transfer Function Measurement Toolkit is a simple, convenient, and free open-source solution for measuring impulse responses, magnitude spectra, and phase spectra of single-input, single-output (SISO) linear systems. Two measurement methods are explained and demonstrated. The Golay code measurement technique is particularly robust to additive white noise, while the swept sine measurement technique is robust to a weakly nonlinear motor exciting the linear system being measured. The toolbox source code is kept to a minimal length to facilitate further modification by others.
