The design of an extended Kalman filter for tracking a time-varying frequency is discussed. Its principal modes of failure are explained. The design tradeoff between balancing noise rejection and tracking at a maximal slew rate is discussed. The performance penalties for overdesign and underdesign of noise covariances are examined, and theoretically supported design guidelines are suggested.
Scala et al. (1996) studied this question.
