摘要

The characteristic of Kalman gain in a cubature Kalman filter for filtering 1-D chaotic signals is investigated. It is shown theoretically that the Kalman gain converges to zero for the case of periodic nonlinear systems, and it either approaches the Cramer-Rao lower bound or oscillates aperiodically for the case of chaotic nonlinear systems. Results from analysis of the Kalman gain are verified by simulations of some representative nonlinear systems.
