The estimation of the angular rate of a satellite has been discussed. A nonlinear observer has been proposed based on the state-dependent Riccati equation method. A sufficient stability condition for the convergence of estimation error has been presented. This condition is related to a state-dependent algebraic Riccati equation. It has been derived by transforming nonlinear error dynamics into a Lipschitz nonlinearity. An observer gain is obtained from this condition. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the proposed method.

This paper presents the observer design method for discrete-time nonlinear systems with delayed output. It is shown that by considering a nonlinear term of error dynamics as an additional state variable, the discrete-time nonlinear error dynamics with time delay can be transformed into the discrete-time linear one with time delay. Sufficient conditions for existence of state observer are characterized by linear matrix inequalities. Finally, an illustrative example is given in order to show the effectiveness of our design method.
