Why does derivative increase noise?
The CO signal trace along the bottom of the plot clearly changes when the derivative term is added. Specifically, derivative action causes the noise (random error) in the PV signal to be amplified and reflected in the controller output.
Does differentiation amplify noise?
It is often said that "differentiation increases the noise". That is true, but it is not the main problem.
What is derivative filter?
DerivativeFilter is a linear filter that computes the derivatives of data based on a spline interpolation model. Regularization with a Gaussian kernel of standard deviation σ (defaults to 0) can be used to reduce susceptibility to noise.
How do you differentiate a signal in Matlab?
You want to differentiate a signal without increasing the noise power. MATLAB®'s function diff amplifies the noise, and the resulting inaccuracy worsens for higher derivatives. To fix this problem, use a differentiator filter instead.
