    摘要: A method of designing a filter to meet a set of specifications. The set of specifications is received, and a filter design is established. Analysis of the filter design is performed by: determining a part admittance matrix; determining a circuit admittance matrix based on the part admittance matrices; reducing interior nodes of the circuit admittance matrix; reducing algebraic nodes to transform the circuit admittance matrix into a Green's Function; evaluating the Green's Function to determine a circuit exterior node admittance matrix; and transforming the circuit exterior node admittance matrix to a circuit scattering matrix. The circuit scattering matrix is compared to the set of specifications to determine whether the filter design is satisfactory. When a determination is made that the design is not satisfactory, the filter design is modified and the process is repeated. When a determination is made that the design is satisfactory, a filter design description is output.

    摘要: A measurement data based method for identifying wind turbine generators which cause sub-synchronous oscillations in a complex power system has a theoretical foundation of the open-loop modal resonance and the parallel filter design. The advantages of the present invention are as follows. 1) The present invention can identify the wind turbine generators which cause the SSOs in the complex power system using measurement data instead of parametric model. Hence, it simplifies the computation and reduces the modeling cost effectively. 2) The present invention can identify the wind turbine generators which cause the SSOs in the complex power system precisely with reduced amount of measurement data, reducing the cost of hardware and data measurement effectively. 3) The present invention can identify the wind turbine generators which cause the SSOs in the complex power system based on the open-loop modal resonance theory.

    摘要: A signal processing method generates a time-frequency domain representation of an input signal for the purpose of signal detection, signal display, and application of filtering operations, such as sample accurate spectral editing. The method may include receiving an input signal in the time domain in a processor. The input signal may include a plurality of transform frames. The input signal is transformed into the frequency domain using a frequency transform. Time-frequency matrices are generated from the frequency transform. Crossfrequency phase coupling is applied between adjacent frequency bins to introduce synchronization between adjacent frequencies and to generate smoothed time-frequency matrices with sample-accurate frequency magnitudes. The frequency information can be edited in the time-frequency domain specific to a single sample of the transform frame to alter unwanted signal features. A modified time domain representation of the edited input signal can be generated from the modified time-frequency matrices.

    摘要: A method for detecting a plurality of useful signals in a total signal. The useful signals correspond to radiofrequency signals emitted by different terminals in a multiplexing frequency band. A plurality of spectrograms calculated that have a compensated linear frequency drift and are respectively associated with different linear frequency drift values. For each analysis frequency and each spectrogram, time envelope filtering of the values is performed at the different times for analyzing the spectrogram at the analysis frequency using a filter representing a reference time envelope of the useful signals. A useful signal is detected at an analysis time and at an analysis frequency in response to a verification of a predefined detection criterion by the value from a spectrogram resulting from filtering at the analysis time and at the analysis frequency.

    摘要: A method for processing an initial signal includes a useful signal and added noise, which comprises a step of frequency selective analysis providing starting from initial signal a plurality of wideband analysis signals corresponding to one of the analyzed frequencies, and comprising the following actions: zero or more complex frequency translations, one or more undersampling operations, computation of the instantaneous Amplitude, of the instantaneous Phase, and of the instantaneous Frequency of the wideband analysis signals. This information then allow to detect modulations of signals included in high levels of noise and to detect with a good probability the presence of a signal in a high level of noise.

    摘要: A signal processing method and a material testing machine are provided. A reference function processing part includes a data interval generation part for cutting out input signal from a load cell into time-domain data interval by cutting out the input signal of a predetermined time length, a reference function determining part for determining a reference function to be used in a transform process, and a transform part for transforming the interval data using the reference function. Considering the approximately straight lines near the two ends of the data interval, the reference function is a third degree polynomial function with tangents overlapping with the approximately straight line at both ends of the data interval.
