This paper presents a procedure for finding reduced order SISO models which will have similar closed-loop characteristics to those of the original system. The reduction method is based on frequency data which are fitted using Levy's complex-curve-fitting technique. When appropriate, a time delay may also be introduced into the reduction. All the procedures have been incorporated into a package of microcomputer programs.
