Abstract

This article presents a discrete time model reference parameter tracking technique which is applicable for less order reference model. The order of the reference model equal (n-1) where n is the number of the adjustable parameters in the physical plant. The technique utilizes a modified gradient method where the knowledge of the exact order of the nonadaptive system is not required. Computer simulations are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed technique through different examples.
