Suppression of strong random noise in seismic data by using time-frequency peak filtering

Time-frequency peak filtering (TFPF) is highly efficient in suppressing random noise in seismic data. Although the hypothesis of stationary Gaussian white noise cannot be fulfilled in practical seismic data, TFPF can effectively suppress white and colored random noise with different intensities, as can be theoretically demonstrated by detecting such noise in synthetic seismic data. However, a "zero-drift" effect is observed in the filtered signal and is independent of the average power and variance of the random noise, but related to its mean value. Furthermore, we consider the situation where the local linearization of the seismic data cannot be satisfied absolutely and study the "distortion" characteristics of the filtered signal using TFPF on a triangular wave. We found that over-compensation is possible in the frequency band for the triangular wave. In addition, it is nonsymmetrical and has a relationship to the time-varying curvature of the seismic wavelet. The results also present an improved approach for TFPF.

Application of a joint algorithm based on L-T to pulse pressure detection signal of fiber Fabry-Perot nano pressure sensor

An improved denoising method and its application in pulse beat signal denoising are studied.The proposed denoising algorithm takes the advantages of local mean decomposition(LMD)and time-frequency peak filtering(TFPF),called L-T algorithm.As a classical time-frequency filtering method,TFPF can effectively suppress random noise with signal amplitude retained when selecting a longer window length,while the signal amplitude will be seriously attenuated when selecting a shorter window length.In order to maintain effective signal amplitude and suppress random noise,LMD and TFPF are improved.Firstly,the original signal is decomposed into progression-free survival(PFS)by LMD,and then the standard error of mean(SEM)of each product function is calculated to classify many PFSs into useful component,mixed component and noise component.Secondly,by using the shorter window TFPF for useful component and the longer window TFPF for mixed component,noise component is removed and the final signal is obtained after reconstruction.Finally,the proposed algorithm is used for noise reduction of an Fabry-Perot(F-P)pressure sensor.Experimental results show that compared with traditional wavelet,L-T algorithm has better denoising effect on sampled data.

Differential Evolution Based High-order Peak Filter Design with Application to Compensation of Contact-induced Vibration in HDD Servo Systems

Sensitivity loop shaping using add-on peak filters is a simple and effective method to reject narrow-band disturbances in hard disk drive （HDD） servo systems. The parallel peak filter is introduced to provide high-gain magnitude in the concerned frequency range of open-loop transfer function. Different from almost all the known peak filters that possess second-order structures, we explore in this paper bow high-order peak filters can be designed to improve the loop shaping performance. The main idea is to replace some of the constant coefficients of common second-order peak filter by frequency-related transfer functions, and then differential evolution （DE） algorithm is adopted to perform optimal design. We creatively introduce chromosome coding and fitness function design, which are original and the key steps that lead to the success of DE applications in control system design. In other words, DE is modified to achieve a novel design for hard disk drive control. Owing to the remarkable searching ability of DE, the expected shape of sensitivity function can be achieved by incorporating the resultant high-order peak filter in parallel with baseline feedback controller. As a result, a seventh-order peak filter is designed to compensate for contact-induced vibration in a high-density HDD servo system, where the benefits of high-order filter are clearly demonstrated.

Ultra-wide tuning single channel filter based on one-dimensional photonic crystal with an air cavity

By inserting an air cavity into a one-dimensional photonic crystal of LiF/GaSb, a tunable filter covering the whole visible range is proposed. Following consideration of the dispersion of the materials, through modulating the thickness of the air cavity, we demonstrate that a single resonant peak can shift from 416.1 to 667.3 nm in the band gap at normal incidence by means of the transfer matrix method. The research also shows that the transmittance of the channel can be maximized when the number of periodic Li F/Ga Sb layers on one side of the air defect layer is equal to that of the other side. When adding a period to both sides respectively, the full width at half maximum of the defect mode is reduced by one order of magnitude. This structure will provide a promising approach to fabricate practical tunable filters in the visible region with ultra-wide tuning range.
