BUILT-IN TEST SIGNAL FEATURE EXTRACTION METHOD BASED ON HILBERT–HUANG TRANSFORM
Abstract
This work proposes a feature extraction method from Hilbert–Huang-transform- or HHT-based data analysis of built-in test (BIT) signals, which are sampled on-site and without reference signals for fault diagnosis. The proposed method fully utilizes self-adaptation of the HHT method in characterizing the envelope amplitude and instantaneous frequency for the intrinsic mode function (IMF), so as to single out the features with most irregular characteristics. Simulations are carried out on steering gear feedback voltage signal of target drone aircraft, and the extracted features show great potential for the improvement in built-in fault diagnosis.
