Observers for linear systems with unknown inputs

Abstract

A direct design procedure of a full-order observer for a linear system with unknown inputs is presented, using straightforward matrix calculations. Some examples are given; in these examples a reduced-order observer is also derived. It is shown that this may restrict the rate of convergence of some state estimates.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
