Abstract

This paper examines the problem of determining the number and the spatial distribution of the inputs that act on a linear system from observation of the outputs. It is shown that the number of independent inputs can be obtained from the effective rank of a matrix that can be formulated from the Fourier transform of the response signals and that the input location information is encoded in the image of the same matrix. A scheme to identify the time histories once the input positions are established is outlined.
