Introduction edit

The goal of optimal filtering is to design a filter that acts on the output z of the generalized plant and optimizes the transfer matrix from w to the filtered output. An H2-optimal filter is designed to minimize the   norm of  (will be defined below).

System Dynamics edit

Consider the discrete-time generalized LTI plant with minimal states space realization

 

where it is assumed that A_{d} is Schur. A discrete-time dynamics LTI filter with state-space realization

 

is to be designed to optimize the transfer function from w{k} to  , given by  ,

where

Conclusion edit

The filter is recovered by the state-space matrices
