Filter coefficient selection using design criteria
John E. Gray,G.J. Foster +1 more
Abstract: For tracking systems with a uniform data rate and stationary measurement noise, non-manoeuvring targets can be accurately tracked with a steady-state Kalman filter. The steady-state Kalman filter, which can be viewed as equivalent to an alpha-beta filter, has been widely applied to many different systems. A means of selecting the filter coefficients was proposed by Kalata (1984) using Kalman filter considerations. An alternative method based on noise reduction ratios is presented in this paper. Using a design criteria with the Kalata relation, optimal filter coefficients can be selected for specific applications. This method generalizes current methods for selecting the filter coefficients.

Track filtering of boosting targets
TL;DR: In this article, the acceleration compensation is applied to either constant velocity or constant acceleration track filters to improve the performance of the intercept of a ballistic missile during reentry to intercept during ascent.

TL;DR: The general solution of the equations that arise in constant coefficient filter theory are solved for arbitrary number of dimensions as discussed by the authors, where the first order matrix equation for the special case of scalar measurements is solved.
