Nonexistence of cross-term free time-frequency distribution with concentration of Wigner-Ville distribution

Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD) is recognized as being a powerful tool and a nucleus in time-frequency representation (TFR) which gives an excellent time-frequency concentration, and more importantly, has many desirable properties. A major shortcoming of WVD is the inherent cross-term (CT) interference. Although solutions to this problem from the bulk of contributions to the literature concerning TFR are currently available, none has been able to completely eliminate the CT’s in WVD. It is therefore a common belief that if there exists an auxiliary time-frequency distribution (TFD) which has the same auto-terms (AT’s) as that in WVD, but has CT’s with the opposite sign, then, by adding the auxiliary TFD to WVD, an ideal TFD, which preserves the concentration of WVD while annihilating the CT’s, is readily obtained. However, we prove that the auxiliary TFD does not exist. Moreover, it is found that in general, CT free joint distributions with their concentrations close to that of WVD do not exist either.

Novel Time-frequency Analysis and Representation of EEG

A novel method of EEG time-frequency analysis and representation based on a wavelet network is presented. The wavelet network model can represent the EEG data effectively. Based on the wavelet network model, a novel time-frequency energy distribution function is obtained, which has the same time-frequency resolution as Wigner-Ville distribution and is free of cross-term interference. There is a great potential for the use of the novel time-frequency representation of nonstationary biosignal based on a wavelet network in the field of the electrophysiological signal processing and time-frequency analysis.

Distribution network state estimation based on attention-enhanced recurrent neural network pseudo-measurement modeling

Because there is insufficient measurement data when implementing state estimation in distribution networks,this paper proposes an attention-enhanced recurrent neural network(A-RNN)-based pseudo-measurement modeling metho.First,based on analyzing the power series at the source and load end in the time and frequency domains,a period-dependent extrapolation model is established to characterize the power series in those domains.The complex mapping functions in the model are automatically represented by A-RNNs to obtain an A-RNNs-based period-dependent pseudo-measurement generation model.The distributed dynamic state estimation model of the distribution network is established,and the pseudo-measurement data generated by the model in real time is used as the input of the state estimation model together with the measurement data.The experimental results show that the method proposed can explore in depth the complex sequence characteristics of the measurement data such that the accuracy of the pseudo-measurement data is further improved.The results also show that the state estimation accuracy of a distribution network is very poor when there is a lack of measurement data,but is greatly improved by adding the pseudo-measurement data generated by the model proposed.

Radar Signal Intra-Pulse Feature Extraction Based on Improved Wavelet Transform Algorithm

With the new system radar put into practical use, the characteristics of complex radar signals are changing and developing. The traditional analysis method of one-dimensional transformation domain is no longer applicable to the modern radar signal processing, and it is necessary to seek new methods in the two-dimensional transformation domain. The time-frequency analysis method is the most widely used method in the two-dimensional transformation domain. In this paper, two typical time-frequency analysis methods of short-time Fourier transform and Wigner-Ville distribution are studied by analyzing the time-frequency transform of typical radar reconnaissance linear frequency modulation signal, aiming at the problem of low accuracy and sen-sitivity to the signal noise of common methods, the improved wavelet transform algorithm was proposed.

Simulation Study on Multi-Rate Time-Frequency Analysis of Non-Stationary Signals

A new time-frequency analysis method is proposed in this study using a multi-rate signal decomposition technique for the analysis of non-stationary signals. The method uses a multi-rate filter bank for an improved non-stationary signal decomposition treatment, and uses the Wigner-Ville distribution(WVD) analysis for signal reconstruction. The method presented in this study can effectively resolves the time and frequency resolution issue for non-stationary signal analysis and the cross-term issue typically encountered in time-frequency analysis.The feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method are evaluated and verified in a numerical simulation.
