Output over-sampling based closed-loop identification algorithm is investigated in this paper. Some instinct properties of the continuous stochastic noise and the plant input, output in the over-sampling approach are analyzed, and they are used to demonstrate the identifiability in the over-sampling approach and to evaluate its identification performance. Furthermore, the selection of plant model order, the asymptotic variance of estimated parameters and the asymptotic variance of frequency response of the estimated model are also explored. It shows that the over-sampling approach can guarantee the identifiability and improve the performance of closed-loop identification greatly.
