TL;DR: A simulator based on the LPF design is developed to compute the close-to-reality actuation voltages and, consequently, the resulting actuation forces, and it is shown that the inaccuracy is mainly caused by the rounding errors in the waveform processing and by the random error caused byThe analog to digital converter random noise in the control loop.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effective direction and amplitude gain of each of the 6 thrusters of the cold gas micro-propulsion system used during the LISA-Pathfinder mission is characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time domain maximum likelihood parameter estimation in LISA Pathfinder data analysis
G. Congedo,Luigi Ferraioli,Mauro Hueller,F. De Marchi,Stefano Vitale,Michele Armano,Martin Hewitson,Miquel Nofrarías +7 more
TL;DR: A maximum likelihood parameter estimation technique in time domain being devised for this calibration of the key system parameters is presented and its robustness to non-standard scenarios possibly arising during the real-life mission, as well as its independence to the initial guess and non-gaussianities are discussed.

TL;DR: The Bayesian analysis framework is presented to process the planned system identification experiments designed for that purpose and focuses on the analysis strategies to predict the accuracy of the parameters that describe the system in all degrees of freedom.
Journal ArticleDOI
