摘要：This paper presents the design of a state observer which guarantees quadratic boundedness of the estimation error. By
using quadratic Lyapunov stability analysis, the convergence rate and the ultimate (steady-state) error bounding ellipsoid
are identified as the parameters that define the behaviour of the estimation. Then, it is shown that these objectives can be
merged in a scalarised objective function with one design parameter, making the design problem convex. In the second
part of the article, a UAV model is presented which can be made linear by considering a particular state and frame of
reference. The UAV model is extended to incorporate a disturbance model of variable size. The joint model matches the
structure required to derive an observer, following the lines of the proposed design approach. An observer for disturbances
acting on the UAV is derived and the analysis of the performances with respect to the design parameters is presented. The
effectiveness and main characteristics of the proposed approach are shown using simulation results.
