Continuous-time Hammerstein system identification
A continuous-time Hammerstein system, i.e., a system consisting of a nonlinear memoryless subsystem followed by a linear dynamic one, is identified. The system is driven and disturbed by white random signals. The a priori information about both subsystems is nonparametric, which means that functional forms of both the nonlinear characteristic and the impulse response of the dynamic subsystem are unknown. An algorithm to estimate the nonlinearity is presented and its pointwise convergence to the true characteristic is shown. The impulse response of the dynamic part is recovered with a correlation method. The algorithms are computationally independent. Results of a simulation example are given.
