On the Discretization of Robust Exact Filtering Differentiators

Abstract

This paper deals with the design of discrete-time algorithms for the robust filtering differentiator. Two discrete-time realizations of the filtering differentiator are introduced. The first one, which is based on an exact discretization of the continuous differentiator, is an explicit one, while the second one is an implicit algorithm which enables to remove the numerical chattering phenomenon and to preserve the estimation accuracy properties. Some numerical comparisons between the proposed scheme and an existing discrete-time algorithm show the interest of the proposed implicit discrete-time realization of the filtering differentiator, especially when large sampling periods are considered.
