Introduction to the LPF state-space models in LTPDA

LTP System Models

Let's start with a word on terminology. The current implementation of the LPF models in LTPDA uses:

All of the LPF ssm models are provided by the LPF_DA_Module LTPDA extension module.

The 3D closed-loop dynamical system of LTP is modelled using a number of sub-models which are then assembled together to produce the final LTP model. The following diagram shows the full set of ssm models which are assembled together to give the main composite model 'LPF'.



All noise models begin with the prefix DIST_*, and they are inputs to the corresponding model. The noise models typically have one output block, whose name is the same as the model itself.
Each submodel has many parameters which all have default values. In section 7 you will learn how to change these parameter values at both build time and run time.

As well as having many parameters, each sub-model has many inputs and outputs. In the process of assembling the full LTP (or LPF) model, some of the inputs disappear (because they are connected to outputs). However, many do not.

The following diagram shows the full LTP model indicating many of the inputs and outputs you have access to.



Any input named DIST_* will not appear in the full LPF model because the various noise models will connect to these. However, the noise models themselves also have inputs where you can inject noise/signals. These are described below.

LPF Noise Models

The LTP model (and its submodels) have many inputs labelled DIST_*. These inputs are designed for inputting noise. The output block has two ports, one named *_DC for the DC term, and one named *_NOISE for the fluctuating term. To simplify this process, we have created a set of noise models (noise shaping filters) which, when you input unit variance white noise, inject a particular coloured noise into the LTP model. The first figure above shows the various noise models.
