Abstract: In this paper the problem of adaptive state observer synthesis for linear time-varying SISO (single-input-single-output) dynamical system with partially unknown parameters was considered. It is assumed that the input signal and output variable of the system are measurable. It is also assumed that the state matrix of the plant contains known variables and unknown constants when the input matrix (vector) is unknown. Observer synthesis is based on GPEBO (generalized parameter estimation based observer) method proposed in [1]. Observer synthesis provides preliminary parametrization of the initial system and its conversion to a linear regression model with further unknown parameters identification. For identification of the unknown constant parameters classical estimation algorithm — least squares method with forgetting factor — was used. This approach works well in cases, when the known regressor is " frequency poor" (i.e. the regressor spectrum contains r/2 harmonics, where r is a value of the unknown parameters) or does not meet PE (persistent excitation) condition. To illustrate performance of the proposed method, an example is provided in this paper. A time-varying second-order plant with four unknown parameters was considered. Parametrization of the initial dynamical model was made. A linear static regression with six unknown parameters (including unknown state initial conditions vector) was obtained. An adaptive observer was synthesized and the simulation results were provided to illustrate the purpose reached. The main difference with the results, that were published earlier in [2], is the new assumption that not only does the state matrix of the linear time-varying system contain unknown parameters, but input matrix (vector) contains unknown constant coefficients.
