ABSTRACT:
A tape system that uses a Kalman filter to produce both an estimate of the tape pack radius and an estimate of the associated estimation error variance. The Kalman filter produces the estimates based on current and prior angular estimation position measurements of the reel, capstan, and tension arm, and the prior estimates of both the tape pack radius and the estimation error variance. The filter gain is based on prior estimation error variance and a calculated measurement error variance, which is a function of the current and prior measurements. Preferably, the system uses two Kalman filters, one to produce the estimates for the supply reel and one to produce the estimates for the take-up reel.
