Measuring Volterra Kernels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Volterra series have been in the engineering literature for some time now, and yet there have been few attempts to measure Volterra kernels. This paper discusses techniques for measuring the Volterra kernels of weakly nonlinear systems. We introduce a new quick method for measuring the second Volterra kernel which is analogous to pseudo-noise testing of a linear device. To illustrate the discussion we present an experimental example, an electro-acoustic transducer. Throughout the paper we emphasize the practical aspects of kernel measurement.

Nonlinear System Identification Using Deterministic Multilevel Sequences
Abstract: A new exact method of measuring the Volterra kernels of finite order discrete nonlinear systems is presented. The kernels are rearranged in terms of multivariate crossproducts in the vector form. The one-, two-, . . . , and `-dimensional kernel vectors are determined using a deterministic multilevel sequence with ` distinct levels at the input of the system. It is shown that the defin...

متن کاملNonparametric System Identification
This article presents a survey of various methods for nonparametric identification of nonlinear systems. Nonparametric identification methods are those that measure Wiener kernels or Volterra kernels, since an output of a nonlinear system can be described by the convolution integral of Wiener or Volterra kernels and the system input. Section 1 highlights the representation methods of nonlinear ...
متن کاملOn solutions of neutral stochastic delay Volterra equations with singular kernels∗
In this paper, existence, uniqueness and continuity of the adapted solutions for neutral stochastic delay Volterra equations with singular kernels are discussed. In addition, continuous dependence on the initial date is also investigated. Finally, stochastic Volterra equation with the kernel of fractional Brownian motion is studied to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.
