Popis: Some new techniques are presented for experimentally determining the dynamical characteristics of linear systems. These techniques are based on analysis of random variations in the operating variables during the normal course of operation of the system. Particular attention is paid to the effects of uncorrelated variations (noise) on the methods. The use of the “delay-line synthesizer” as a device for discovering system characterizations is presented. Results obtained for the determination of a transfer operator for a human being engaged in tracking a target are presented as an example of the effectiveness of the random-data-analysis approach.
