A MULTIPLE-INPUT SINGLE-OUTPUT VARIABLE GAIN FACTOR MODEL

The single-input linearly varying gain factor model (LVGFM) is general ised for the multiple-input single-output case. It is shown that the m ultiple-input linearly varying gain factor model (MILVGFM) is a constr ained form of the Volterra function model. The MILVGFM is much easier to calibrate and to apply in practice than the second-order Volterra f unction model for the case of multiple-input systems and yet its assoc iated results are not significantly different from those of the latter model.
