Measurement and identification of nonlinear systems consisting of linear dynamic blocks and one static nonlinearity

This paper considers the measurement and the identification of nonlinear time-invariant single-input/single-output (SISO) systems, consisting of a multivariable linear dynamic system and one static nonlinear SISO system. This includes Wiener-Hammerstein systems in a linear feedback loop. The nonparametric identification of the frequency response functions of the linear parts are obtained without measuring the signals over the static nonlinearity. Measurements on an electronic circuit demonstrate the usability of this identification scheme
