Abstract
The operational transfer path analysis (OTPA) method is the subject of research in this article, which starts with a discussion on it's theory. Here clear similarities with the MIMO technique in experimental modal analysis are found. Based on the knowledge of MIMO, one finds that input signals are allowed to be coherent to a certain extend. As coherence can be larger in OTPA in practice, the method is extended with the singular value decomposition method to reduce influences of noise. The article proceeds with a discussion on points of attention, or boundary conditions, in practical applications. An analysis on tire noise is included to illustrate the points of attention and the methods strength in, for example, vehicle TPA on tires.
