We present two time invariant models for Global Systems for Mobile (GSM) position tracking, which describe the movement inx-axis andy-axis simultaneously or separately. We present the time invariant filters as well as the steady state filters: the classical Kalman filter and Lainiotis Filter and the Join Kalman Lainiotis Filter, which consists of the parallel usage of the two classical filters. Various implementations are proposed and compared with respect to their behavior and to their computational burden: all time invariant and steady state filters have the same behavior using both proposed models but have different computational burden. Finally, we propose a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) implementation of the Steady State Kalman, and Lainiotis filters, which does not require previous estimations but requires a well-defined set of previous measurements.

This paper proposes a new algorithm to estimate the optimal steady-state Kalman filter gain of a linear, discrete-time, time-invariant stochastic system from nonoptimal Kalman filter residuals. The system matrices are known, but the covariances of the white process and measurement noises are unknown. The algorithm first derives a moving average (MA) model which relates the optimal and nonoptimal residuals. The MA model is then approximated by inverting a long autoregressive (AR) model. From the MA parameters the Kalman filter gain is calculated. The estimated gain in general is suboptimal due to the approximations involved in the method and a finite number of data. However, the numerical example shows that the estimated gain could be near optimal.

Abstract In this paper, a new iterative algorithm for computing a steady-state Kalman gain is proposed. This algorithm utilizes two model forecasts with statistically independent random perturbations to determine the error covariance used to define a Kalman gain matrix for steady-state data assimilation. It is based on the assumption that the error process is weakly stationary and ergodic. The algorithm consists of an iterative procedure for improving the covariance estimate, which requires a fixed observation network. Two twin experiments using a simple wave model and an operational storm surge prediction model are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experiments show that the results obtained by using the proposed algorithm converge to the ones produced by the classic Kalman filter algorithm. An additional experiment using the three-variable Lorenz model is also performed to demonstrate its potential applicability in unstable dynamical systems.
