Observer design for matrix second order linear systems with uncertain disturbance input-a parametric approach*

A simple parametric approach to design a full-order observer for matrix second-order linear systems with uncertain disturbance input in the matrixsecond-order framework is proposed. The basic idea is to minimize the H2 norm of the transfer function from disturbance to estimation error using the design degrees of freedom provided by a parametric approach in the observer design. Besides the design parameters, the eigenvalues of the closed-loop system are also optimized within desired regions on the left-half of the complex plane. Using the proposed approach, additional specifications can be easily achieved. A spring-mass system is using to show the effect of the proposed approaches.
