A non-iterative identification method with parameterization of the unknown dead-zone is proposed for Hammerstein systems in presence of asymmetric dead-zone nonlinearities.The canonical parameterized model which is a single expression without segmentation is utilized to describe the dead-zone,based on which a universal-typc parametric model can be established to approximate the entire system.This model can be established without separating the nonlinear part from the linear part.The dead-zone parameters and the coefficients in the linear transfer function can be estimated simultaneously according to the proposed algorithm.Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
