The design of an extended Kalman filter for tracking a time-varying frequency is discussed. Its principal modes of failure are explained. The design tradeoff between balancing noise rejection and tracking at a maximal slew rate is discussed. The performance penalties for overdesign and underdesign of noise covariances are examined, and theoretically supported design guidelines are suggested.
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.
