This paper proposes the parallel observer system (POS), a multirate estimation technique for discrete time systems, to compensate for systems whose output measurements are only periodically available and under the presence of matched and unmatched uncertainties/disturbances. A stability proof and error bounds are provided, given maximum bounds of the uncertainties/disturbances. A simulation of the POS is provided to show proof of concept.
