Abstract

A matrix of transfer functions is, in most cases, known to admit an analytic singular value decomposition (SVD), with singular values that are real-valued but potentially negative on the unit circle. In this contribution, we propose an algorithm to retrieve such analytic singular values. We propose approach operates in the frequency domain, and first computes a standard SVD of the given polynomial matrix in each discrete Fourier transform (DFT) bin. Thereafter, in order to re-establish their association across bins, the bin-wise singular values are permuted by assessing the orthogonality of singular vectors in adjacent DFT bins. In addition, the proposed algorithm determines whether bin-wise singular value should become negative, which can be required for analyticity. The proposed algorithm is validated through an ensemble simulation involving polynomial matrices with known analytic SVD factors.
