Resolver angle estimation using parameter and state estimation

Abstract

In this paper, a new type of a resolver angle estimator that utilizes a combined parameter and state estimation scheme is proposed. A state-space model of a resolver is first developed with unknown parameters. Least square estimation is employed to obtain some unknown model parameters by using the measurements up to the current time. Based on the state-space model with estimated parameters, a constrained state estimator with finite memory is constructed to estimate the resolver angle. It is shown through simulation that the proposed scheme is very effective in suppressing noise and overcoming amplitude and phase imbalances compared with common angle tracking observers.111sciescopu
