In sch condiions, in fac, he dynaic deviaion asses vales ha ae sall even in he pesence of lage flcaions of he signal s. Ths sing expession 2, which is he lineaizaion i.e. he ncaion o he fis ode inegal of he odified Volea seies wih espec o he dynaic deviaion e,, does no inodce elevan eos in he descipion of he non-linea block behavio, since all ohe inegal conibions in he seies ae highe ode infiniesial of e, [3]. y disceising now he inegaion doain of 4 i.e he non-linea eoy ie ino he saion of P inevals of eqal widh, he sae eqaion can be ewien as: w[ s, p ] e, p wp[ s ] e, p p P p p P p whee P T and P T.

MODEL IDENTIFICTION The feasibiliy of he exacion of behavioal odels, sch as hose based on he classical Volea seies, fo nonlinea dynaic syses is songly liied by he difficlies ha ae elaed o he idenificaion of all he kenels which ae needed in ode o achieve a good pedicion accacy. In any cases only a pa of hese kenels can be pacically chaaceized, and he odel folaion sffes fo a song appoxiaion ha edces is pefoances. The poposed appoach ovecoes sch a liiaion, being is fll idenificaion based on a siple and eliable expeienal pocede. I is ipoan o noice ha, being possible o ipose, wiho loss of genealiy, H j o he ansfe fncion of he linea dynaic syse, he fncion z [] coincides wih he saic chaaceisic of he enie device. The saic block of Fig.3 is hs easily idenifiable by eans of convenional DC easeens ove a siable ineval of inp signal vales. Moeove, i has been shown [2] ha in zeo bias, sall-signal opeaing condiions, he non-linea block in Fig.2 can be consideed eoyless. Theefoe, he linea dynaic block a he inp of he syse can be chaaceized hogh sall-signal, zeo bias easeens a diffeen feqencies ove he inp signal s I ypical bandwidh. Finally, by applying o he device a se of R lage-aplide sinsoidal inp signals s I fo diffeen vales of feqency and bias poin, and by easing, fo each es inp a he op, a lin- signal, a siable se of M saples ea syse of RM eqaions in P N + β pn can be obained fo : p P p z [ s ] e N nknowns n, p β pns, l, R, l, M n whee each fncion z [] has been epesened as a polynoial seies ncaed o he N-h ode wih coefficiens β pn n,..., N. If a lage nbe of es fncions is chosen a inp of he S/H-DC device RM >> P N +, he odel idenificaion can be copleed, by solving he ovedeeined linea syse hogh well-known leas sqae ehods. This neical pocede leads o a eliable solion, wiho he need fo non-linea opiizaion algoihs which sally sffe fo convegence pobles, sch as he dependence on he saing poin de o he pesence of liple local inia. 4.
