Abstract

In this correspondence, closed-form expressions for the blind identification of linear-quadratic Volterra systems are established. The system is excited by a complex valued random sequence and the output cumulants (of order up to 4) are employed. It is assumed that the memory of the linear part is greater than or equal to the memory of the quadratic part. Cumulant-based formulas are developed demonstrating that the system is uniquely identifiable. An SVD based variant with improved performance is also derived. Simulations and comparisons with existing techniques are presented.
