An angle tracking observer is a very robust method to determine
the angle of a space phasor. If we calculate cos and
sin of a wrapped angle - no matter whether in the
interval [0, 2π) or (-π, +π] - we can use this algorithm to unwrap
the angle.
Rotating the space phasor by an angle that is determined by the controller - whose goal is to bring the imaginary part to zero - the result is the desired continuos angle. The result can be differentiated to obtain the angular velocity, but as a bonus the input of the integral controller already is the angular velocity. The result approximates the desired angle by a firstOrder whose time constant is the integral time constant:
Im(ej(φ-φ'))=sin(φ-φ') which can be
approximated by (φ-φ')
Using an integral contoller, the transfer function of the closed
loop can be determined as: φ'=φ/(1 +
s*TI).
