A new optimal linear quadratic observer‐based tracker under input constraint for the unknown system with a direct feed‐through term

Abstract

SUMMARYThis paper develops a new optimal linear quadratic observer-based tracker with input constraint for the linear unknown system with a direct transmission term from input to measured output. The off-line observer/Kalman filter identification method is used to determine the linear sampled-data model with a direct feed-through term. On the basis of this model, a high-gain optimal linear quadratic analog observer-based tracker is proposed, so that it can effectively induce a high quality performance on the state estimation and the trajectory tracking design. Besides, the prediction-based digital redesign method is utilized to obtain a relatively low-gain and implementable observer and digital tracker from the theoretically well-designed high-gain analog observer and tracker for the linear system with a direct transmission term from input to output. To reduce the magnitude of control input, which is caused by the high-gain property to fit the requirement of the input constraint, the modified linear quadratic analog tracker is proposed. Thus, the control input can be compressed effectively without losing the original high performance of tracking much.

Guidance and control laws design for a switched system with discontinuous actuators

“…Because the guidance commands and aero‐fin control inputs will be saturated in some scenarios, the future work will focus on the anti‐windup problem of the guidance commands and control inputs .…”

Relating structural damage to modal frequencies shift using low cost LQG-FEA approach and minimal feedback measurements

“…(9-10) for reduced order, the LQG controller can now be designed. The LQG consists of Linear Quadratic Estimator (LQE) and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), [25]. The LQG is usually implemented on digital hardware; therefore, the following is based on discrete-time state-space model.…”
