Traditional modal parameter identification usually require measurements of both the input force and the resulting response in laboratory conditions. However, when modal properties are to be identified from large structures in operation, usually the possibilities to control and measure the loading on the structure is rather limited. In this case, the modal testing is usually performed using response data only. Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) or Operational Modal Testing is a method where no artificial excitation needs to be applied to the structure or force signals to be measured. In this case, the modal parameters estimation is based upon the response signals, thereby minimizing the work of preparation for the test. However, standard OMA techniques, such as NExT, are limited to the case when excitation to the system is a white stationary noise. The NexT assumes that the correlation functions are similar to the impulse response functions, and then, traditional time domain identification methods can be applied. However, if harmonic components are present in addition to the white noise, these components can be misunderstood as natural modes in the plot of response spectrum. In this work, it is shown that it is possible identify if a peak in the response spectrum correspond to a natural mode or an operational mode. It is achieved through the application of the probability density function. It is also presented a modification in the LSCE algorithm in such manner that it can support harmonics in the operational excitation. In order to validate the methods presented in this work, it is shown numerical and experimental cases. In the former, results for a mass-spring-damper of five degree of freedom are presented, and in the latter a beam supporting an unbalanced motor is analyzed.
