TL;DR
This work develops a filtering homogeneous observer for linear MIMO systems with an output prefilter to enhance noise robustness. Gains are computed via an LMI that is feasible whenever the plant is observable, and the design supports both prescribed-time convergence (ν<0) and standard asymptotic convergence (ν≥0) within a unified homogeneous framework. A high-order sliding mode–style extension is also provided, along with an ISS robustness analysis against measurement noise and unmodeled perturbations, and a numerical example demonstrates superior noise rejection compared to a Luenberger observer. The approach yields constructive, scalable tuning and broad applicability to practical MIMO state estimation tasks.
Abstract
Homogeneous observer for linear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system is designed. A prefilter of the output is utilized in order to improve robustness of the observer with respect to measurement noises. The use of such a prefilter also simplifies tuning, since the observer gains in this case are parameterized by a linear matrix inequality (LMI) being always feasible for observable system. In particular case, the observer is shown to be applicable in the presence of the state and the output bounded perturbations. Theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.
