Adaptive Notch Filter Suppression of Bending Modes.

Abstract

A simple, microprocessor oriented algorithm is developed to identify, track and suppress bending mode signals from a control system's rate and position feedback signals using adaptive digital notch filters. The algorithm can be used to suppress bending modes having center frequencies as close as one octave above the control system gain cross-over frequency without introduction of the excessive phase loss associated with conventional lowpass filtering techniques. A third order model of the trident missile autopilot pitch attitude control loop is contaminated with two dynamic, destabilizing bending modes and used as a concept demonstration model. The algorithm is demonstrated by stabilizing the pitch attitude loop in the presence of two bending modes with unknown gains, damping, center frequencies and rates of change of center frequencies.
