Abstract

In this paper, we aim to give a delicate analysis of the error dynamics of linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) for nonlinear time-varying plants with unknown dynamics. We first give precise upper bounds for the estimation error of linear extended state observer (LESO) and tracing error and then generalize the results to a higher order LADRC. The settling time is studied numerically. The results can be very useful for determining the parameters of LADRC. The results are very effective as verified by various simulations.
