Fixed-Gain Augmented-State Tracking-Filters

Systems and Control 2018-04-20 v4

Abstract

A procedure for the design of fixed-gain tracking filters, using an augmented-state observer with signal and interference subspaces, is proposed. The signal subspace incorporates an integrating Newtonian model and a second-order maneuver model that is matched to a sustained constant-g turn; the deterministic interference model creates a Nyquist null for smoother track estimates. The selected models provide a simple means of shaping and analyzing the (transient and steady-state) response of tracking-filters of elevated order.
