This paper is intended to point out the relationship among current time domain modal analysis methods by employing generalized eigenvalue decomposition. Ibrahim time domain (ITD), least-squares complex exponential (LSCE) and eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) methods are reviewed and chosen to do the comparison. Reformulation to their original forms shows these three methods can all be attributed to a generalized eigenvalue problem with different matrix pairs. With this general format, we can see that single-input multioutput (SIMO) methods can easily be extended to multi-input multioutput (MIMO) cases by taking advantage of a generalized Hankel matrix or a generalized Toeplitz matrix.
