Abstract:
Low-frequency base vibration transmitted through supporting platforms can degrade the stability of precision payloads, optical instruments, and inertial measurement systems. In velocity-sensor-based active isolation platforms, displacement-related feedback states are unavailable. Direct velocity integration can drift under sensor bias, while raw lower-platform velocity feedforward can introduce measurement noise and out-of-band components. This paper proposes a dual extended state observer (ESO) reconstruction method combining equivalent-displacement feedback and lower-platform feedforward. The upper-platform ESO reconstructs feedback velocity and a bounded equivalent-displacement state, while the lower-platform ESO provides a smoothed velocity reference for feedforward compensation. The method was implemented on a plate-type active vibration isolation platform and evaluated using lower-to-upper-platform acceleration transmissibility over 0.1-10 Hz. Across three repeated 200 s records, the proposed ESO feedback-feedforward condition achieved an integrated input-output suppression ratio of 38.67±0.46 dB, reduced the upper-platform output acceleration RMS to (1.31±0.09)×10-7 g, and provided a 48.92±2.12 dB RMS reduction relative to the passive baseline. Direct nominal-measured comparisons further showed that the reduced model captured the dominant passive and feedback-controlled dynamics. These results demonstrate that low-frequency active micro-vibration isolation can be achieved using only velocity measurements, without additional displacement sensors.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
