The effective application of the variable structure approach to model reference adaptive control using only input and output measurements is investigated. The controller, which is robust with respect to a class of bounded-input-disturbance plants with a relative degree of one, ensures convergence of the tracking error always to zero. It is not necessary to assume persistency of excitation.
