Abstract In this paper we discuss how the time domain subspace based identification algorithms can be modified in order to be applicable when the primary measurements are given as samples of the Fourier transform of the input and output signals or alternatively samples of the transfer function. An instrumental variable (IV) based subspace algorithm is presented. We show that this method is consistent if a certain rank constraint is satisfied and the frequency domain noise is zero mean with bounded covariances. An example is presented which illuminates the theoretical discussion.

Тhe advantage of combine processing of frequency domain and time domain data provided by the EQUATOR system is discussed. The heliborne complex has a towed transmitter, and, raised above it on the same cable a towed receiver. The excitation signal contains both pulsed and harmonic components. In fact, there are two independent transmitters operate in the system: one of them is a normal pulsed domain transmitter, with a half-sinusoidal pulse and a small "cut" on the falling edge, and the other one is a classical frequency domain transmitter at several specially selected frequencies. The received signal is first processed to a direct Fourier transform with high Q-factor detection at all significant frequencies. After that, in the spectral region, operations of converting the spectra of two sounding signals to a single spectrum of an ideal transmitter are performed. Than we do an inverse Fourier transform and return to the time domain. The detection of spectral components is done at a frequency band of several Hz, the receiver has the ability to perfectly suppress all sorts of extra-band noise. The detection bandwidth is several dozen times less the frequency interval between the harmonics, it turns out thatto achieve the same measurement quality of ground response without using out-of-band suppression you need several dozen times higher moment of airborne transmitting system. The data obtained from the model of a homogeneous half-space, a two-layered model, and a model of a horizontally layered medium is considered. A time-domain data makes it easier to detect a conductor in a relative insulator at greater depths. The data in the frequency domain gives more detailed information about subsurface. These conclusions are illustrated by the example of processing the survey data of the Republic of Rwanda in 2017. The simultaneous inversion of data in frequency domain and time domain can significantly improve the quality of interpretation.

This paper deals with the analysis of interharmonics, which are due to the presence of a nonlinear load. The tool for the analysis was a mathematical apparatus - wavelet packet transform. Which has a number of advantages over the traditional Fourier transform. A simulation model was developed in Simulink to simulate a non-stationary non-sinusoidal mode. The use of the wavelet packet transform will allow to determine the mode parameters with high accuracy from the obtained wavelet coefficients. It also makes it possible to obtain information, both in the frequency domain of the signal and in the time domain.

Abstract The frequency response function (FRF), defined as the ratio between the Fourier transform of the time-domain output and the Fourier transform of the time-domain input, is a common tool to analyze the relationships between inputs and outputs of a mechanical system. Learning the FRF for mechanical systems can facilitate system identification, condition-based health monitoring, and improve performance metrics, by providing an input-output model that describes the system dynamics. Existing FRF identification assumes there is a one-to-one mapping between each input frequency component and output frequency component. However, during dynamic operations, the FRF can present complex dependencies with frequency cross-correlations due to modulation effects, nonlinearities, and mechanical noise. Furthermore, existing FRFs assume linearity between input-output spectrums with varying mechanical loads, while in practice FRFs can depend on the operating conditions and show high nonlinearities. Outputs of existing neural networks are typically low-dimensional labels rather than real-time high-dimensional measurements. This paper proposes a vector regression method based on deep neural networks for the learning of runtime FRFs from measurement data under different operating conditions. More specifically, a neural network based on an encoder-decoder with a symmetric compression structure is proposed. The deep encoder-decoder network features simultaneous learning of the regression relationship between input and output embeddings, as well as a discriminative model for output spectrum classification under different operating conditions. The learning model is validated using experimental data from a high-pressure hydraulic test rig. The results show that the proposed model can learn the FRF between sensor measurements under different operating conditions with high accuracy and denoising capability. The learned FRF model provides an estimation for sensor measurements when a physical sensor is not feasible and can be used for operating condition recognition.

The real-time pitch shifting process is widely used in various types of music production. The pitch shifting technology can be divided into two major types, the time domain type and the frequency domain type. Compared with the time domain method, the frequency domain method has the advantage of large shifting scale, low total cost of computing and the more flexibility of the algorithm. However, the use of Fourier Transform in frequency domain processing leads to the inevitable inherent frequency leakage effects which decrease the accuracy of the pitch shifting effect. In order to restrain the side effect of Fourier Transform, window functions are used to fall down the spectrum-aliasing. In practical processing, Haimming Window and Blackman Window are frequently used. In this paper, we compare both the effect of the two window functions in the restraint of frequency leakage and the performance and accuracy in subjective based on the traditional phase vocoder[1]. Experiment shows that Haimming Window is generally better than Blackman Window in pitch shifting process.

Hydrocyclones are extensively known as important separation devices which are used in many industrial fields. However, the general method to estimate device performance is time-consuming and has a high cost. The aim of this paper was to investigate the blockage diagnosis for a lab-scale hydrocyclone using a vibration-based technique based on wavelet denoising and the discrete-time Fourier transform method. The results indicate that the farther away the installation location from feed inlet the more regular the frequency is, which reveals that the installation plane near to the spigot generated the regular frequency distribution. Furthermore, the acceleration amplitude under blockage degrees 0%, 50% and 100% fluctuates as a sine shape with increasing time, meanwhile the vibration frequency of the hydrocyclone rises with increasing throughput. Moreover, the distribution of four dimensional and five non-dimensional parameters for the time domain shows that the standard deviation, compared to the others, reduced gradually with increases in blockage degree. Thus, the standard deviation was used to evaluate the online diagnosis of the blockage. The frequency domain distribution under different throughput reveals that the characteristic peaks consisting of the faulty frequency and multiple frequency were produced by the faulty blockage and the feed pump, respectively. Hence, the faulty peak of 16–17 Hz was adopted to judge the real-time blockage of the hydrocyclone, i.e., the presence of the characteristic peak marks the blockage, and its value is proportional to the blockage degree. The application of the online monitoring system demonstrates that the combination of the time domain and the frequency domain could admirably detect the running state and rapidly recognize blockage faults.

The measured uniaxial-head load spectrum in the road simulation test has a large number of useless small loads. When applying the measured load spectrum directly, it will take a lot of time. This paper designs a comprehensive road spectrum measurement system to collect data and proposes a method for editing the uniaxial-head acceleration load spectrum using short-time Fourier transform to speed up the reliability test process and reduce time costs. In this method, the time domain and frequency domain information of the signal is obtained by short-time Fourier transform. The concept of accumulated power spectral density is proposed to identify the reduced load data, and the relative fatigue damage is used as the pass criterion. The length of the edited spectrum is only 66% of the original spectrum through the above-mentioned editing method and retains the relative damage amount of 91%. Finally, through the analysis of time domain, frequency domain, and fatigue statistical parameters, it demonstrates that the short-time Fourier transform–based acceleration load spectrum edition method could achieve a similar fatigue damage to the original spectrum in a shorter time.

This chapter is dedicated to exploring a form of the Fourier transform that can be applied to digital waveforms, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The theory is introduced and discussed as a modification to the continuous-time transform, alongside the concept of windowing in the time domain. The fast Fourier transform is explored as an efficient algorithm for the computation of the DFT. The operation of discrete-time convolution is presented as a straight application of the DFT in musical signal processing. The chapter closes with a detailed look at time-varying convolution, which extends the principles developed earlier. The conclusion expands the definition of spectrum once more.

Frequency responses of seismic wave propagation can be obtained either by directly solving the frequency domain wave equations or by transforming the time domain wavefields using the Fourier transform. The former approach requires solving systems of linear equations, which becomes progressively difficult to tackle for larger scale models and for higher frequency components. On the contrary, the latter approach can be efficiently implemented using explicit time integration methods in conjunction with running summations as the computation progresses. Commonly used explicit time integration methods correspond to the truncated Taylor series approximations that can cause significant errors for large time steps. The rapid expansion method (REM) uses the Chebyshev expansion and offers an optimal solution to the second-order-in-time wave equations. When applying the Fourier transform to the time domain wavefield solution computed by the REM, we can derive a frequency response modeling formula that has the same form as the original time domain REM equation but with different summation coefficients. In particular, the summation coefficients for the frequency response modeling formula corresponds to the Fourier transform of those for the time domain modeling equation. As a result, we can directly compute frequency responses from the Chebyshev expansion polynomials rather than the time domain wavefield snapshots as do other time domain frequency response modeling methods. When combined with the pseudospectral method in space, this new frequency response modeling method can produce spectrally accurate results with high efficiency.
