Abstract
?1990 IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted.

The first step is to find the continuous-time filter architecture which transforms into the alpha-beta discrete filter via the method of impulse invariance. This yields relations between filter bandwidth and damping ratio and the coefficients, ? and ?. In the Kalman case, these same coefficients are related to a defined stochastic signal-to-noise ratio and to a defined normalized tracking error variance. These latter relations are obtained from a closed-form, unique, positive-definite solution to the matrix Riccati equation for the tracking error covariance. A nomograph is given that relates the stochastic and deterministic designs.Aerospace & Electronic Systems SocietKeywords
