We took data for the mode cleaner a while ago, June 30th I believe. This data contained signals from the six accelerometers and the three seismometers. In here I have only focused on the seimometer signals as witnesses in order to construct Wiener filters for each of the three seismometer signals (x,y,z) and for the combined seismometers signal. The following plot showing the ASD's shows the results,

Wiener filtering works beautifully for the seismometers. Note that subtraction is best when we use all three seismometers as the witnesses in the Wiener filter calculation, as can be clearly seen in the first plot above.
Now, I used vectfit to conver the Wiener FIR filters for each seismometer to their IIR versions. The following are the bode plots for the IIR filters,
For the x-direction seismometer,


For the y-direction seismometer
,


And for the z-direction seismometer,


The IIR filters were computed using 5 zeros and 5 poles using vectfit. That was the maximum number of poles that I could use wihtout running into trouble with matrices being almost singular in Matlab. I still need to figure out how to deal with this issue in more detail as fitting the y-seismometer was a bit problematic. I think having a greater number of poles will make the fitting a bit easier. |
