Abstract

Kalman Filter is used in system estimation 
applications today like state estimation, load flow analysis, 
harmonic estimation, digital signal processing, sensor 
integration, Navigational Systems, etc. In using a Kalman Filter 
the user has to give the parameters relating the estimates of 
process and measurement noise along with system state 
modeling. The values of process and measurement noise 
covariance are usually not available beforehand and have to be 
estimated, usually by hit or trial method. This involves heavy 
computation, as two variables have to be estimated for optimal 
filtering independently. For multi-state systems this value 
further increases the computation time. This paper presents the 
application of Kalman Filter to a simple one state problem. This 
paper, through using simulations, finds relationships between 
the two different parameters Q (Process Noise Covariance) and 
R (Measurement Noise Covariance). This results in reduction of 
computation time. The proposed scheme’s low complexity and 
robustness makes it practical for real implementations.
