In this paper, to address the problem that the traditional fal function
constitutes an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) system that
is greatly affected by feedback signal noise and the control output has
jitter, propose a continuous and smooth Hfal function in the definition
domain to improve the extended state observer and nonlinear error
feedback control law in ADRC. Firstly, the characteristic curves and
error gain curves of the fal function and Hfal function are compared and
analyzed to prove the feasibility and superiority of the Hfal function;
secondly, the convergence condition of the extended state observer
improved by the Hfal function is analyzed theoretically, and the
simulation of the improved extended state observer with glan , faln ,
and tanh function is compared in the observed signal containing noise to
verify the improved extended state observer with Hfal function has
higher observation accuracy; finally, the improved ADRC (IADRC) method
is applied to the magnetically levitated sphere system model with a
nonlinear, large time lag and strong coupling characteristics for
discretization simulation experiments, and the results show that the
proposed IADRC method solves the output jitter problem of the
traditional ADRC method, has better stability, and has stronger
robustness to large-amplitude control quantity step disturbances and
feedback link noise. The proposed control method further improves the
control performance of the system and has a good reference value for the
control of other nonlinear systems with uncertain disturbances.
