The compressed sampling theory provides a good idea for sampling broadband linear frequency-modulated (LFM) signal, but the signal reconstruction after sampling should be considered when using the compressed sampling system to sample the signal. For the problem of estimating the parameters of the LFM signal under the condition of nonreconstruction, a method combining random demodulation (RD) and waveform matching (WM) dictionary is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the RD system is used to collect the compressed sampling data of LFM signal. In order to ensure the validity of the compressed sampling data, the value of the compressed sampling rate R in the RD system is discussed. Then, the feasibility of using compressed sampling data to estimate LFM signal parameters is theoretically demonstrated. According to the construction principle of waveform matching dictionary, the corresponding relationship between sparse representation coefficients, dictionary atoms, and signal parameters can be determined. Using this theory, the LFM signal parameters can be estimated. Finally, simulation and real signal experiments verify that the proposed method can realize the estimation of initial frequency and chirp rate of LFM signal when some prior information is known.

Significant losses can occur for various smart grid stake holders due to the Power Quality Disturbances (PQDs). Therefore, it is necessary to correctly recognize and timely mitigate the PQDs. In this context, an emerging trend is the development of machine learning assisted PQDs management. Based on the conventional processing theory, the existing PQDs identification is time-invariant. It can result in a huge amount of unnecessary information being collected, processed, and transmitted. Consequently, needless processing activities, power consumption and latency can occur. In this paper, a novel combination of signal-piloted acquisition, adaptive-rate segmentation and time-domain features extraction with machine learning tools is suggested. The signal-piloted acquisition and processing brings real-time compression. Therefore, a remarkable reduction can be secured in the data storage, processing and transmission requirement towards the post classifier. Additionally, a reduced computational cost and latency of classifier is promised. The classification is accomplished by using robust machine learning algorithms. A comparison is made among the k-Nearest Neighbor, Naïve Bayes, Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Machine. Multiple metrics are used to test the success of classification. It permits to avoid any biasness of findings. The applicability of the suggested approach is studied for automated recognition of the power signal’s major voltage and transient disturbances. Results show that the system attains a 6.75-fold reduction in the collected information and the processing load and secures the 98.05% accuracy of classification.

“…Time–frequency (TF) analysis is an effective tool to characterize nonstationary signals (Boashash and Ouella, 2017; Khan and Mohammadi, 2018; Wang et al , 2020). It reflects the time-varying components by mapping signals into the joint TF domain.…”

PurposeThis study aims to reveal the essential characteristics of nonstationary signals and explore the high-concentration representation in the joint time–frequency (TF) plane.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the authors consider the effective TF analysis for nonstationary signals consisting of multiple components.FindingsTo make it, the authors propose the combined multi-window Gabor transform (CMGT) under the scheme of multi-window Gabor transform by introducing the combination operator. The authors establish the completeness utilizing the discrete piecewise Zak transform and provide the perfect-reconstruction conditions with respect to combined TF coefficients. The high-concentration is achieved by optimization. The authors establish the optimization function with considerations of TF concentration and computational complexity. Based on Bergman formulation, the iteration process is further analyzed to obtain the optimal solution.Originality/valueWith numerical experiments, it is verified that the proposed CMGT performs better in TF analysis for multi-component nonstationary signals.
