Hammerstein model is formed by cascade of linear and nonlinear parts. In literature, memoryless polynomial
nonlinear (MPN) model for nonlinear part and finite impulse response (FIR) model or infinite impulse response
(IIR) model for linear part are mostly preferred for Hammerstein models. This paper different from the studies in
literature, focuses on the success of Hammerstein block model that Second Order Volterra (SOV) is preferred
instead of MPN as nonlinear part. In this context, a new Hammerstein model is presented which is obtained by
cascade form of a nonlinear SOV and a linear FIR model. In simulations, different types of system are identified
by proposed Hammerstein model which is optimized with ABC (artificial bee colony) algorithm. The simulation
results reveal effectiveness and robustness of the proposed model with ABC algorithm.
