H∞ deconvolution filter design for time-delay linear continuous-time systems

Proposes an H_∞ deconvolution design for time-delay linear continuous-time systems. We first analyze the general structure and innovation structure of the H_∞ deconvolution filter. The deconvolution filter with innovation structure is made up of an output observer and a linear mapping, where the latter reflects the internal connection between the unknown input signal and the output estimate error. Based on the bounded real lemma, a time domain design approach and a sufficient condition for the existence of deconvolution filter are presented. The parameterization of the deconvolution filter can be completed by solving a Riccati equation. The proposed method is useful for the case that does not require statistical information about disturbances. At last, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed filter.
