Frequency domain calibration: using
DARM_CTRL
(This document is in cvs:

Here I show a comparison between a the usual frequency domain
calibration and
a frequency domain calibraiton that uses DARM_CTRL. Both should
be identical
except at calibration line frequencies.
I.e., I am comparing,
h(f)=DARM_ERR(f) * R(f)
with
h'(f) = DARM_ERR(f)/C(f) + (DARM_CTRL(f)/W(f))
* A (f)
where R, C, A are the response, sensing, and actuation, and W(f) is the
whitening filter used on DARM_CTRL.
I can derive the equation for h' starting from the one for h (except
for the excitation which is added to
DARM_CTRL).
So this is why they sould be identical to 7 significant figures
(floating point precision) except at calibration
line frequencies. This is not the case. I find differences at the
1% level. For the Hanford instruments I
find large (10%) differences at 35Hz. At this frequency there is a
sharp feature in the H1 and H2 servos.
So I think the discrepancies are coming from the servo.
