In this paper, a recursive closed-loop subspace identification method for Hammerstein nonlinear systems is proposed. To reduce the number of unknown parameters to be identified, the original hybrid system is decomposed as two parsimonious subsystems, with each subsystem being related directly to either the linear dynamics or the static nonlinearity. To avoid redundant computations, a recursive least-squares (RLS) algorithm is established for identifying the common terms in the two parsimonious subsystems, while another two RLS algorithms are established to estimate the coefficients of the nonlinear subsystem and the predictor Markov parameters of the linear subsystem, respectively. Subsequently, the system matrices of the linear subsystem are retrieved from the identified predictor Markov parameters. The convergence of the proposed method is analyzed. Two illustrative examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness and merit of the proposed method.
