This paper investigates an adaptation of the high-gain Kalman filter for nonlinear continuous-discrete system with multirate sampled outputs under an observability normal form. The contribution of this article is twofold. First, we prove the global exponential convergence of this observer through the existence of bounds for the Riccati matrix. Second, we show that, under certain conditions on the sampling procedure, the observer's asynchronous continuous-discrete Riccati equation is stable and also, that its solution is bounded from above and below. An example, inspired by mobile robotics, with three outputs available is given for illustration purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
