Verification of Diagnostic Thresholds with Elimination of Ambient Factors / Weryfikacja Progów Diagnostycznych z Eliminacją Otoczenia

Abstract

Measurements of signals received from ambient environment is a difficult task for technical diagnostics and becomes even infeasible in a series of cases. It is why the issues related to elimination of ambient factors from the identification process of diagnostic thresholds are truly justified. The method for elimination of environment impact is disclosed in this paper and consists in displacement of a specific set of measured diagnostic parameters (the initial set) in relation to the subsequent set of diagnostic parameters (the target set). Then the square of amplitude gain and the phase shift are calculated for these two mutually shifted data sets, which makes it possible to evaluate “cohesion” density of results obtained for diagnostic signals and thus their suitability for calculation of diagnostic thresholds. The method is characterized by the peculiarity that it takes account for ambient “environment” with no need to measure its parameters [6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14].
