The Instrumental Variable Method(IVM), modified from least square algorithm, is applied to parameter identification of a noise contaminated bearing test rig. The signal to noise ratio included in Frequency Response Function(FRF) can cause significant errors in parameter identification. Therefore, among several candidates of parameter identification method, results of the applied IVM were compared with noise-contaminated least square method. This study shows that the noise-contaminated least square method can have indonsistent accuracy depending on the degree of noise level, while the IVM has robuster performance to signal to noise ratio than least square method.
