Synchrosqueezing Transform

Time–frequency analysis is recognized as an efficient tool to characterize the time-varying feature from the oscillatory signal by transforming it into an identifiable form. Some traditional time–frequency transforms are subjected to poor time–frequency resolution or do not allow for mode reconstruction. As a postprocessing method, the synchrosqueezing transform has been utilized to tackle these problems. In this framework, a new method termed as generalized wavelet-based synchrosqueezing transform is developed in the current research work to deal with a strong modulated signal. The proposed method is capable to theoretically generate unbiased instantaneous frequency estimation at any order by defining a higher-order Taylor expansion signal model. The signal mapping procedure is also embedded in the algorithm to further improve the anti-noise robustness of the presented method. Numerical investigation of synthetic signal verifies the feasibility of the generalized wavelet-based synchrosqueezing transform as compared to previously developed approaches. Moreover, the practical implementation of the proposed method for the detection of the rotor rub-impact fault demonstrates that the generalized wavelet-based synchrosqueezing transform is qualified for machine fault diagnosis under the variable speed conditions.

To solve the problem that the time-frequency resolution of Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is constrained by the window length and the moving step of the short time window, and to utilize the merits of a widely linear method, a novel instantaneous frequency estimation method in vector hydrophone was proposed. In this paper, a complex variable was constructed. It is composed of sound pressure and particle velocity as its real part and imaginary part, respectively. The constructed variable was approved to be second order noncircular (improper). For the modelling of noncircular signals, the standard linear estimation is not adequate and the pseudo-covariance matrix should also be taken into consideration. As a result, a widely linear adaptive instantaneous frequency estimation algorithm and its three solutions based on the augmented complex least mean square (ACLMS) method are presented to estimate the instantaneous frequency in vector hydrophones. The results of simulations and laboratory experiments prove that this approach based on a widely linear model performs better compared to STFT and strict linear filter methods.

Recently, the study of modeling a non-stationary signal as a superposition of amplitude and frequency-modulated Fourier-like oscillatory modes has been a very active research area. The synchrosqueezing transform (SST) is a powerful method for instantaneous frequency estimation and component separation of non-stationary multicomponent signals. The short-time Fourier transform-based SST (FSST) reassigns the frequency variable to sharpen the time-frequency representation and to separate the components of a multicomponent non-stationary signal. Very recently the FSST with a time-varying parameter, called the adaptive FSST, was introduced. The simulation experiments show that the adaptive FSST is very promising in instantaneous frequency estimation of the component of a multicomponent signal, and in accurate component recovery. However, the theoretical analysis of the adaptive FSST has not been carried out. In this paper, we study the theoretical analysis of the adaptive FSST and obtain the error bounds for the instantaneous frequency estimation and component recovery with the adaptive FSST and the second-order adaptive FSST.

AbstractFrequency modulated (FM) signals sampled below the Nyquist rate or with missing samples (nowadays part of wider compressive sensing (CS) framework) are considered. Recently proposed matching pursuit and greedy techniques are inefficient for signals with several phase parameters since they require a search over multidimensional space. An alternative is proposed here based on the random samples consensus algorithm (RANSAC) applied to the instantaneous frequency (IF) estimates obtained from the time-frequency (TF) representation of recordings (undersampled or signal with missing samples). The O’Shea refinement strategy is employed to refine results. The proposed technique is tested against third- and fifth-order polynomial phase signals (PPS) and also for signals corrupted by noise.

Instantaneous speed (IS) is of great significance of fault diagnosis and condition monitoring of the high speed spindle. In this paper, we propose a novel zoom synchrosqueezing transform (ZST) for IS estimation of the high speed spindle. Due to the limitation of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the conventional time-frequency analysis (TFA) methods cannot provide both good time and frequency resolution at the whole frequency region. Moreover, in most cases, the interested frequency component of a signal only locates in a narrow frequency region, so there is no need to analyze the signal in the whole frequency region. Different from conventional TFA methods, the proposed method arms to analyze the signal in a specific frequency region with both excellent time and frequency resolution so as to obtain accurate instantaneous frequency (IF) estimation results. The proposed ZST is an improvement of the synchrosqueezing wavelet transform (SWT) and consists of two steps, i.e., the frequency-shift operation and the partial zoom synchrosqueezing operation. The frequency-shift operation is to shift the interested frequency component from the lower frequency region to the higher frequency to obtain better time resolution. The partial zoom synchrosqueezing operation is conducted to analyze the shifted signal with excellent frequency resolution in a considered frequency region. Compared with SWT, the proposed method can provide satisfactory energy concentrated time-frequency representation (TFR) and accurate IF estimation results. Additionally, an application of the proposed ZST to the IS fluctuation estimation of a motorized spindle was conducted, and the result showed that the IS estimated by the proposed ZST can be used to detect the quality of the finished workpiece surface.

Synchrosqueezing Transform

The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) has played a key role in the analysis of time-frequency information in many different fields of science and engineering. It builds on the classical short-time Fourier transform but allows for variable time-frequency resolution. Yet, interpretation of the resulting spectral decomposition is often hindered by smearing and leakage of individual frequency components. Computation of instantaneous frequencies, combined by frequency reassignment, may then be applied by highly localized techniques, such as the synchrosqueezing transform and ConceFT, in order to reduce these effects. In this paper, we present the synchrosqueezing transform together with the CWT and illustrate their relative performances using four signals from different fields, namely the LIGO signal showing gravitational waves, a ‘FanQuake’ signal displaying observed vibrations during an American football game, a seismic recording of the M w 8.2 Chiapas earthquake, Mexico, of 8 September 2017, followed by the Irma hurricane, and a volcano-seismic signal recorded at the Popocatépetl volcano showing a tremor followed by harmonic resonances. These examples illustrate how high-localization techniques improve analysis of the time-frequency information of time-varying signals. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Redundancy rules: the continuous wavelet transform comes of age’.

Suppress Noise

The differences of instantaneous frequency (IF) characteristics between the defect echo and the noise can be used to detect defect and suppress noise for ultrasonic testing signal. Therefore, the IF is one of the important instantaneous parameters of ultrasonic testing signal. To estimate the IF of ultrasonic testing signals more effectively, the peak of time-frequency representation (TFR) from matching pursuits (MP) decomposition is proposed. The performances of IF estimators are compared on the simulated signals at different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the real ultrasonic testing signal. The simulation results present that the proposed method can estimate accurate IF at different SNR.

Frequency-smear phenomenon caused by fierce rotating speed variation made it difficult to extract the fault features of the rolling bearing. An approach based on time-frequency order tracking and SPWVD was proposed in this paper. The influence of speed variation was reduced by resampling the time-domain non-stationary signal at constant angle increments with order tracking analysis. The precision of instantaneous frequency estimation (IFE) in time-frequency order tracking was improved by the use of Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution (SPWVD). The simulation signal and experiment on test-rig revealed that the proposed method was more effective than the traditional order tracking in clarifying incipient fault.
