Kalman filter

The tranditional Kalman filter equation is as follows: x(n)=F x(n-1)+w(n) y(n)=H x(n)+v(n) And x(n) is called "state". If there are two states, x1(n) and x2(n), x1(n)=F1 x1(n-1)+w1(n) x2(n)=F2 x2(n-1)+w2(n) y(n)=H1 x1(n)+H2 x2(n)+v(n) Is it still the Kalman filter? How to make estimation? Or...
