Abstract: In this research article, an application of continuous Kalman Filtering for an
RLC Circuit is presented. In addition of white noise term, the deterministic model of the
circuit is changed as stochastic source and the resultant solution is computed using Ito
formula, which is the charge of the filtering problem for the RLC circuit.
Keywords: Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE), Kalman Bucy Filter, White Noise, Ito
formula, RLC circuit.
1. INTRODUCTION
Real modeling system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), ignore the notice of
stochastic effects. The differential equations can be change into stochastic differential
equation by adding the arbitrary elements and phrase the stochastic equations [1] which gives
at least one of the terms is a stochastic process, the resultant is also a stochastic process.
SDEs take part in an appropriate role for numerous application areas such as environmental
modeling, engineering, biological modeling, etc. Several researchers used the application of
SDEs to investigate the radar scattering and wireless communications. Field and Tough [2,3]
have efficiently used SDEs in K-distributed noise in electromagnetic scattering.
Charalambous and et al, [4] used SDEs equations to represent multipath fading channels. To
prove SDE model they used Meticulous mathematical analysis and computer simulation
method. A first-order stochastic auto regressive (AR) model is formed directly with the time
variable by discretizing the SDE model. Many researchers have studied in modeling of
electrical circuits which is the major application of SDEs. W. Kampowsky and et al,
illustrated by applying white noise [5] of electrical circuits to classify and numerical simulate.
C. Penski described its application in circuit simulation using new numerical solution for
SDEs with white noise [6]. For modeling a series of RC Circuit using different application of
noise terms using Ito stochastic calculus including numerical solution was proved by T.

However, E. Kolarova proved the applications of stochastic integral equations using RL
Circuits [8]. On the automated formal confirmation of analog/RF circuits employed by R.
Narayanan and et al. The hitch in filtering has an significant branch for the SDEs.
Instinctively, an optimal way of observing the problem is to filter the noise terms. In RC and
RL circuit the deterministic, stochastic model was found [9, 10]. Basically, the filtering
problem based on a series of noisy observations, gives a formula for estimating the state of a
system, which resulting the noisy linear differential equations.
2. STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
A Stochastic Differential Equation is comprised of differential equation that includes a
stochastic process resulting in a solution which is also a stochastic process. Let be the
probability space, and R is a collection of all Y
t
, t P of random variables which represents a
stochastic process with state space and also takes values in R for the Parameter P. If P is
countable, then the process is discrete otherwise continuous. A stochastic process is to
describe the some randomness in an uncorrelated white Gaussian noise.
The general scalar SDE is of the form

4. THE DETERMINISTIC MODEL OF RLC CIRCUIT
Every RLC circuit has some finite resistance R, inductance L and capacitance C. Here, Q(t)
represents the charge of the circuit which is a fixed point at time t and U(t) is the potential
source at time t. According to Kirchhoff’s law satisfies the differential equation

5. COMPUTATION RLC CIRCUIT WITH STOCHASTIC SOURCE
Now, include some randomness in the potential source
U*(t) = U(t) + noise
U*(t) = U(t) + α(t) (5.1)
where (t) is a white noise process of mean zero and variance one and α is intensity of
noise with non-negative constant.
