The accuracy is significantly reduced by the interference in the partial discharge on-site detection or on-line monitoring, especially by the pulse interference. This paper studies the phase correlation of some types of typical partial discharge pulses and their characteristics in time domain and frequency domain. By collecting enough partial discharge pulse data, the correlation coefficient can be calculated based on both phase correlation and waveform similarity. The type of pulse will be determined by the scope of the calculated correlation coefficient. The pulses with very strong correlation will be identified as periodic pulse interference. The pulses with very weak correlation will be identified as random pulse interference. Only the pulses whose correlation coefficients fall into a specific range will be identified as partial discharge signals. In laboratory, simulated pulse interference is injected into measurement circuit, and typical partial discharge pulses are sampled by a high-speed acquisition system. The pulse interference can be effectively separated from partial discharge signals by correlation coefficient.展开更多

Two silicate glasses are taken as the specimens, their frequency dependences of longitudinal velocities are measured in the frequency range of 50-350 MHz, and the phase advances of ultrasonic signals caused by diffraction effect are calculated using A. O. Williams' theoretical expression. For the velocity error due to diffraction effect, the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. It has been shown that the velocity error due to diffraction effect is directly proportional to dθ21 (f)/df, whereθ21 (f) is the phase advances difference between the two partial reflection signals used in velocity measurement and f is the ultrasonic frequency.展开更多

The self-developed FBG interrogation system is devised for the aircraft health management of key structures. Nevertheless, the pulse interference is detected in the reflection spectrum of FBG causing interrogation system unstable. To address the problem, the first-order lag pulse broadening filter is proposed in this paper. The first-order lag filter is applied to preprocess and smooth the original signal, meanwhile enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR）. Afterwards, peaks of reflection spectrum are distinguished with pulse interference by pulse broadening. Experimental results indicate that 634 peaks are detected before adopting the first-order lag pulse broadening filter. Comparatively, the number of peaks decreases to 203 after filtering the interference pulse, and the correct rate of peak detection is higher than 98.5%. Through the comparison with the finite impulse response （FIR） filter, the advantage of first-order lag filter is proved. The vibration monitoring experiment demonstrates that this system has high dynamic precision with a dynamic interrogation range of 0Hz-400Hz, and the maximum repetition rate of 800Hz.展开更多
