Sa. Hoffman et Wd. Blair, THE ALPHA-BETA-GAMMA TRACKING FILTER WITH A NOISY JERK AS THE MANEUVER MODEL - COMMENTS, IEEE transactions on aerospace and electronic systems, 30(3), 1994, pp. 925-928
In [1], the optimal steady-state gains and associated error covariance
s for an alpha, beta, GAMMA filter with a piecewise constant jerk as a
maneuver model are presented. While the results given in [1] are corr
ect, the gains and error covariances can be found in a much simpler ma
nner. The simplified expressions for the gains and the error covarianc
es are given, along with the code for a simple program that computes t
he gains for a given tracking index.
