Input-Weighted Newton Fading Extended Kalman Filter for Experimental Output Estimation in Control Systems

Abstract

This paper proposes an Input-Weighted Newton Fading Extended Kalman Filter (IW-NF-EKF) for real-time output estimation in control systems subject to modeling uncertainty and excitation-dependent disturbances. Unlike conventional adaptive fading Kalman filters that rely exclusively on innovation statistics, the proposed method explicitly incorporates normalized input magnitude into a chi-square-based innovation-consistency condition. The resulting nonlinear fading equation is solved online via Newton iterations, yielding an excitation-aware covariance inflation mechanism. The method is experimentally validated using real measurement data obtained from a computer-aided temperature control system. Comparative results against a fixed Kalman filter and a Newton fading EKF without input weighting demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves lower estimation error and improved goodness-of-fit while preserving stable residual behavior. The results indicate that input-aware fading provides a practically effective and statistically coherent extension of innovation-driven adaptive filtering.
