The Robust Exact Differentiator Toolbox: Improved Discrete-Time Realization

Abstract

This paper presents a new release of A Robust Exact Differentiator Toolbox for Matlab®/Simulink® proposed in [1]. This release features a new discrete-time realization of the continuous-time robust exact differentiator. The implemented discretization scheme is less sensitive to gain overestimation and does not suffer from the discretization chattering effect. Hence, the single tuning parameter of the new version of the implemented differentiator is more intuitive to tune. Furthermore, it shows superior estimation performance in the case of large sampling times in comparison to the previous release. This is confirmed by the presented results obtained by numerical simulations and a real world application.
