It is well known that adaptive Gaussian chirplet signal decomposition algorithm has the best time frequency resolution in all signal decomposition algorithms. It is widely used in non linear and non stationary signal decomposition, especially for the signal which is superposition of chirplet functions decomposition. But it has a large amount of computation. In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm based on short time Fourier transform (STFT) method and we change parameters’ domain. Using this fast algorithm to decompose a four atoms non-linear signal computes very fast and it can also avoid the cross term’s interferer of the Wigner-Ville distribution.

This paper deals with the new time-frequency Short-Time Approximated Discrete Zolotarev Transform (STADZT), which is based on symmetrical Zolotarev polynomials. Due to the special properties of these polynomials, STADZT can be used for spectral analysis of stationary and non-stationary signals with the better time and frequency resolution than the widely used Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT). This paper describes the parameters of STADZT that have the main influence on its properties and behaviour. The selected parameters include the shape and length of the segmentation window, and the segmentation overlap. Because STADZT is very similar to STFT, the paper includes a comparison of the spectral analysis of a non-stationary signal created by STADZT and by STFT with various settings of the parameters.

In this paper, we report the condition to keep the optimal time-frequency resolution of the Gaussian window in the numerical implementation of the short-time Fourier transform. Because of truncation and discretization, the time-frequency resolution of the discrete Gaussian window is different from that of the proper Gaussian function. We compared the time-frequency resolution performance of the discrete Gaussian window and Hanning window based on that they have the same continuous-time domain standard deviation, and generalized the condition under which the time-frequency resolution of the Gaussian window will prevail over that of the Hanning window.

The short-time Fourier transform has the disadvantage that is does not localize time and frequency phenomena very well. Instead the time-frequency information is scattered which depends on the length of the window. It is not possible to have arbitrarily good time resolution simultaneously with good frequency resolution. In this paper, a new method that uses the short-time Fourier transform based on multi-window functions to enhance time-frequency resolution of signals has been proposed. Simulation and experimental results present the high performance of the proposed method.

The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is a classical tool, used for characterizing the time varying signals. The limitation of the STFT is its fixed time-frequency resolution. Thus, an enhanced version of the STFT, which is based on the cross-level sampling, is devised. It can adapt the sampling frequency and the window function length by following the input signal local characteristics. Therefore, it provides an adaptive resolution time-frequency representation of the input signal. The computational complexity of the proposed STFT is deduced and compared to the classical one. The results show a significant gain of the computational efficiency and hence of the processing power.

The spectral decomposition technique plays an important role in reservoir characterization, for which the time-frequency distribution method is essential. The deconvolutive short-time Fourier transform (DSTFT) method achieves a superior time-frequency resolution by applying a 2D deconvolution operation on the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) spectrogram. For seismic spectral decomposition, to reduce the computation burden caused by the 2D deconvolution operation in the DSTFT, the 2D STFT spectrogram is cropped into a smaller area, which includes the positive frequencies fallen in the seismic signal bandwidth only. In general, because the low-frequency components of a seismic signal are dominant, the removal of the negative frequencies may introduce a sharp edge at the zero frequency, which would produce artifacts in the DSTFT spectrogram. To avoid this problem, we used the analytic signal, which is obtained by applying the Hilbert transform on the original real seismic signal, to calculate the STFT spectrogram in our method. Synthetic and real seismic data examples were evaluated to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

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.

The focused signal obtained by the time-reversal or the cross-correlation techniques of ultrasonic guided waves in plates changes when the medium is subject to strain, which can be used to monitor the medium strain level. In this paper, the sensitivity to strain of cross-correlated signals is enhanced by a post-processing filtering procedure aiming to preserve only strain-sensitive spectrum components. Two different strategies were adopted, based on the phase of either the Fourier transform or the short-time Fourier transform. Both use prior knowledge of the system impulse response at some strain level. The technique was evaluated in an aluminum plate, effectively providing up to twice higher sensitivity to strain. The sensitivity increase depends on a phase threshold parameter used in the filtering process. Its performance was assessed based on the sensitivity gain, the loss of energy concentration capability, and the value of the foreknown strain. Signals synthesized with the time–frequency representation, through the short-time Fourier transform, provided a better tradeoff between sensitivity gain and loss of energy concentration.

Ultrasonic non-destructive analysis is a promising and effective method for the inspection of protective coating materials. Offshore coating exhibits a high attenuation rate of ultrasonic energy due to the absorption and ultrasonic pulse echo testing becomes difficult due to the small amplitude of the second echo from the back wall of the coating layer. In order to address these problems, an advanced ultrasonic signal analysis has been proposed. An ultrasonic delay line was applied due to the high attenuation of the coating layer. A short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of the waveform was implemented to measure the thickness and state of bonding of coating materials. The thickness of the coating material was estimated by the projection of the STFT into the time-domain. The bonding and debonding of the coating layers were distinguished using the ratio of the STFT magnitude peaks of the two subsequent wave echoes. In addition, the advantage of the STFT-based approach is that it can accurately and quickly estimate the time of flight (TOF) of a signal even at low signal-to-noise ratios. Finally, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was applied to automatically determine the bonding state of the coatings. The time–frequency representation of the waveform was used as the input to the CNN. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method automatically determines the bonding state of the coatings with high accuracy. The present approach is more efficient compared to the method of estimating bonding state using attenuation.

AbstractIn recent years, considerable attention has been paid in time–frequency analysis (TFA) methods, which is an effective technology in processing the vibration signal of rotating machinery. However, TFA techniques are not sufficient to handle signals having a strong non-stationary characteristic. To overcome this drawback, taking short-time Fourier transform as a link, a TFA methods that using the generalized Warblet transform (GWT) in combination with the second order synchroextracting transform (SSET) is proposed in this study. Firstly, based on the GWT and SSET theories, this paper proposes a method combining the two TFA methods to improve the TFA concentration, named GWT–SSET. Secondly, the method is verified numerically with single-component and multi-component signals, respectively. Quantized indicators, Rényi entropy and mean relative error (MRE) are used to analyze the concentration of TFA and accuracy of instantly frequency (IF) estimation, respectively. Finally, the proposed method is applied to analyze nonstationary signals in variable speed. The numerical and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the GWT–SSET method.

Due to the advantages offered by the S-transform (ST) distribution, it has been recently successfully implemented for various applications such as seismic and image processing. The desirable properties of the ST include a globally referenced phase as the case with the short time Fourier transform (STFT) while offering a higher spectral resolution as the wavelet transform (WT). However, this estimator suffers from some inherent disadvantages seen as poor energy concentration with higher frequencies. In order to improve the performance of the distribution, a modification to the existing technique is proposed. Additional parameters are proposed to control the window's width which can greatly enhance the signal representation in the time–frequency plane. The new estimator's performance is evaluated using synthetic signals as well as biomedical data. The required features of the ST which include invertability and phase information are still preserved.
