Abstract: A novel separation identification strategy for the neural fuzzy Wiener–Hammerstein system using hybrid signals is developed in this study. The Wiener–Hammerstein system is described by a model consisting of two linear dynamic elements with a nonlinear static element in between. The static nonlinear element is modeled by a neural fuzzy network (NFN) and the two linear dynamic elements are modeled by an autoregressive exogenous (ARX) model and an autoregressive (AR) model, separately. When the system input is Gaussian signals, the correlation technique is used to decouple the identification of the two linear dynamic elements from the nonlinear element. First, based on the input and output of Gaussian signals, the correlation analysis technique is used to identify the input linear element and output linear element, which addresses the problem that the intermediate variable information cannot be measured in the identified Wiener–Hammerstein system. Then, a zero-pole match method is adopted to separate the parameters of the two linear elements. Furthermore, the recursive least-squares technique is used to identify the nonlinear element based on the input and output of random signals, which avoids the impact of output noise. The feasibility of the presented identification technique is demonstrated by an illustrative simulation example and a practical nonlinear process. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can obtain higher identification precision than existing identification algorithms.
