Canonical block-oriented model
The block-oriented models are usually based on linear dynamic and non-linear static blocks that are connected in various sequential/parallel ways. Some particular configurations of the involved blocks result in the well-known Hammerstein, Wiener, Hammerstein-Wiener and generalised Hammerstein models. The Urysohn model is a lesser-known model; it is represented by a single non-linear dynamic block and can be approximated by a number of parallel Hammerstein blocks. In this paper, it is shown that any block-oriented model can be adequately replaced by a single Urysohn block followed by a single static non-linear block. Furthermore, a method of the so-called non-parametric identification of such object is introduced.
