The design of an ideal differentiator is a difficult and a challenging task. In this paper, we propose two adaptive observers for a scalar first-order plant with a time-varying parameter. The update law consist of the gradient-type one and a signurn function. Based on the proposed adaptive observers, three time-derivative trackers are given to estimate the derivative of an output signal. The MATLAB simulations are done to demonstrate their performances.
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.
