In this paper, we consider boundary stabilization for a multi-dimensional wave equation with boundary control matched disturbance that depends on both time and spatial variables. The active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) approach is adopted in investigation. An extended state observer is designed to estimate the disturbance based on an infinite number of ordinary differential equations obtained from the original multi-dimensional system by infinitely many test functions. The disturbance is canceled in the feedback loop together with a collocated stabilizing controller. All subsystems in the closed-loop are shown to be asymptotically stable. In particular, the time varying high gain is first time applied to a system described by the partial differential equation for complete disturbance rejection purpose and the peaking value reduction caused by the constant high gain in literature. The overall picture of the ADRC in dealing with the disturbance for multi-dimensional partial differential equation is presented through this system. The numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the convergence and effect of peaking value reduction.
