Kalman Filtering for Model-Based Networked Control Systems

Abstract

In this paper a control problem of a continuous linear plant which measured outputs are transmitted to a controller via a fading communication channel is considered. The attention is focused on the state reconstruction of the plant state between the sampling moments. Based on this estimation, a continuous-time state feedback control law is designed and implemented. Comparative numerical results are also presented emphasizing the benefits of the proposed method with respect to the classical one based on discrete-time filtering and zero order holders.
