In this paper, Wavelet Analysis Method (WAM) is introduced to analyse the non-stationary, shock signals. The theory and construction method of wavelet, the fast algorithms of wavelet analysis are presented. As an example, the gear testing signal has been analysed by WAM, and the results of WAM are compared with that of Fourier spectrum. The advantages of WAM are clearly shown.

Identification of Neuro-Fuzzy Hammerstein Model Based on Probability Density Function

A new identification method of neuro-uzzy Hammerstein model based on probability density function(PDF) is presented,which is different from the idea that mean squared error(MSE) is employed as the index function in traditional identification methods.Firstly,a neuro-fuzzy based Hammerstein model is constructed to describe the nonlinearity of Hammerstein process without any prior process knowledge.Secondly,a kind of special test signal is used to separate the link parts of the Hammerstein model.More specifically,the conception of PDF is introduced to solve the identification problem of the neuro-fuzzy Hammerstein model.The antecedent parameters are estimated by a clustering algorithm,while the consequent parameters of the model are identified by designing a virtual PDF control system in which the PDF of the modeling error is estimated and controlled to converge to the target.The proposed method not only guarantees the accuracy of the model but also dominates the spatial distribution of PDF of the model error to improve the generalization ability of the model.Simulated results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Design and application of wireless signal strength measurement system on the near-ground

The wireless communication system's performance is greatly constrained by the wireless channel characteristics,especially in some specific environment.Therefore,signal transmission will be greatly impacted even if not in a complicated topography.Testing results show that it is hardly to characterize the radio propagation properties for the antenna installed on the ground.In order to ensure a successful communication,the radio frequency(RF)wireless signal intensity monitor system was designed.We can get the wireless link transmission loss through measuring signal strength from received node.The test shows that the near-ground wireless signal propagation characteristics still can be characterized by the log distance propagation loss model.These results will conduce to studying the transmission characteristic of Near-Earth wireless signals and will predict the coverage of the earth's surface wireless sensor network.

Wigner-Matrix-Based Normality Test and Application to Weak Signal Detection in SISO/SIMO Systems

Based on the asymptotic spectral distribution of Wigner matrices, a new normality test method is proposed via reforming the white noise sequence. In this work, the asymptotic cumulative distribution function （CDF） of eigenvalues of the Wigner matrix is deduced. A numerical Kullback-Leibler divergence of the empiric-d spectral CDF based on test samples from the deduced asymptotic CDF is established, which is treated as the test statistic. For validating the superiority of our proposed normality test, we apply the method to weak SIPSK signal detection in the single-input single-output （SISO） system and the single-input multiple-output （SIMO） system. By comparing with other common normality tests and the existing signal detection methods, simulation results show that the proposed method is superior and robust.

Rejection of Direct Blast Interference Based on Signal Phase-Matching Array Processing

In bistaic acoustic testing, there will be strong direct blast interference. An algorithm based on signal phase-matching array processing that rejects direct blast interference in bistatic acoustic testing has been studied, through which the object scattering signal is accurately extracted. Characteristics of bistatic acoustic testing and signal phase matching processing principle are fully integrated in this algorithm. Firstly, the direct blast interference is calculated from the receiving signal based on three subarrays signal phase matching processing. Secondly, the direct blast is rejected by subtraction from the receiving signal. In this way the limitations of the high signal to noise ratio that signal phase matching processing required for direct calculating the object scattering signal can be avoided. Simulation and sea trial results show that, when the ratio of signal to interference is greater than -20 dB, this algorithm of direct blast interference rejection based phase matching signal processing can accurately extract the object scattering signal.

Scan BIST with biased scan test signals

The conventional test-per-scan built-in self-test （BIST） scheme needs a number of shift cycles followed by one capture cycle. Fault effects received by the scan flipflops are shifted out while shifting in the next test vector like scan testing. Unlike deterministic testing, it is unnecessary to apply a complete test vector to the scan chains. A new scan-based BIST scheme is proposed by properly controlling the test signals of the scan chains. Different biased random values are assigned to the test signals of scan flip-flops in separate scan chains. Capture cycles can be inserted at any clock cycle if necessary. A new testability estimation procedure according to the proposed testing scheme is presented. A greedy procedure is proposed to select a weight for each scan chain. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve test effectiveness of scan-based BIST greatly, and most circuits can obtain complete fault coverage or very close to complete fault coverage.

Durbin test with enhanced detection performance to mismatched signal

This paper deals with the problem of detecting a signal whose amplitude is a scaling factor in the presence of homogeneous Gaussian noise with unknown covariance matrix.Since no uniformly most powerful test exists for the problem at hand,we devise and assess a detection strategy based on the well-known Durbin test design criteria.The closed-form expressions for the probabilities of false alarm and detection of the Durbin test are derived,which show that it bears a constant false alarm rate property against the noise covariance matrix.At the analysis stage,the performance of the new receiver is assessed,also in comparison with some classical adaptive detectors,both in matched and in mismatched signal cases.The results show that the proposed detector achieves a visible performance improvement in the presence of severe steering vector mismatch,while maintaining an acceptable detection loss for matched signal.
