An orthonormal filter is used to obtain minimum-order, mathematical models of linear, multivariable, discrete, time-invariant systems from input/output data. Some common problems associated with obtaining such descriptions are considered, including the problem of noise-corrupted observations.

A method is given for systematically operating on the equations of motion of a linear dynamic system to produce the equations of a new system of many fewer degrees of freedom. This reduced system has a multiterminal response as close as desired to the original system in a limited frequency range. The result will always be better than that obtained with the normal mode approach and application to damped systems does not result in complex coefficients.
