Comparison of models for reduction of measured packet signals in monitoring and diagnostic systems
Incoming article date: 22.09.2024In systems for monitoring, diagnostics and recognition of the state of various types of objects, an important aspect is the reduction of the volume of measured signal data for its transmission or accumulation in information bases with the ability to restore it without significant distortion. A special type of signals in this case are packet signals, which represent sets of harmonics with multiple frequencies and are truly periodic with a clearly distinguishable period. Signals of this type are typical for mechanical, electromechanical systems with rotating elements: reducers, gearboxes, electric motors, internal combustion engines, etc. The article considers a number of models for reducing these signals and cases of priority application of each of them. In particular, the following are highlighted: the discrete Fourier transform model with a modified formula for restoring a continuous signal, the proposed model based on decomposition by bordering functions and the discrete cosine transform model. The first two models ideally provide absolute accuracy of signal restoration after reduction, the last one refers to reduction models with information loss. The main criteria for evaluating the models are: computational complexity of the implemented transformations, the degree of implemented signal reduction, and the error in restoring the signal from the reduced data. It was found that in the case of application to packet signals, each of the listed models can be used, the choice being determined by the priority indicators of the reduction assessment. The application of the considered reduction models is possible in information and measuring systems for monitoring the state, diagnostics, and control of the above-mentioned objects.
