Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of signal processing, and in particular to a signal reconstruction method based on a time-varying filter. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern signal processing, the reconstruction of non-stationary periodic signals is an important task, especially in complex environments subject to interference. Non-stationary signals are widely present in vibration signals, radar communications, and biological signal processing. However, in practical applications, signals are often subject to various types of interference, such as random noise, harmonic distortion, and sudden interference, which makes accurate reconstruction of signals extremely challenging. To solve this problem, time-varying filters, as a tool for dynamically adjusting filtering characteristics, have shown unique advantages.

[0003] The classic Wiener filter technology performs well in processing the estimation of signals with fixed periodic frequencies. Its excellent noise suppression and signal reconstruction capabilities have been widely used and recognized in both the time domain and the frequency domain. In the time domain, the Wiener filter operation can be expressed as a convolution, which is very effective for the estimation of periodic and stable signals. In the frequency domain, it can be expressed as a product with the complex filter gain function, thereby improving the clarity and accuracy of the signal. However, these methods all assume that the frequency of the signal is fixed and periodic, which may lead to poor estimation results when facing non-stationary signals with varying frequencies in reality. In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing non-stationary signal reconstruction techniques, a signal reconstruction method based on time-varying filters is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a signal reconstruction method based on a time-varying filter, which solves the technical problem that a poor estimation effect may be caused when a non-steady-state signal with a changing frequency is present in reality.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a signal reconstruction method based on a time-varying filter is provided, the method comprising: Step 1: Perform time-frequency analysis on the disturbed non-stationary signal to obtain the time-frequency spectrum; Step 2: Establish a random model based on the time-frequency spectrum of the signal and estimate the model parameters of the random model; Step 3: Construct a time-varying Wiener filter based on Bayes' theorem; Step 4: Obtain the reconstructed non-stationary signal through inverse time-frequency transform.

[0006] In a possible implementation, the step 1 of performing time-frequency analysis on the disturbed non-steady-state signal to obtain a time-frequency spectrum includes: 1-1: Collecting non-steady-state signals of the target object , where T is the number of time points of a single signal sample; 1-2: Select a window function ω(t) to collect the non-steady-state signal The result of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is a time-frequency matrix, in which each column represents the spectrum within a window, and each column represents how a frequency changes over time. The short-time Fourier transform conversion formula is: (1) in, is the complex amplitude at time τ and frequency f, ; ; 1-3: According to the central limit theorem, the short-time Fourier transform STFT coefficient The distribution converges to the complex-valued Gaussian distribution. After decentralization, the decentralization represents Subtracting its mean simplifies it into a circularly symmetric Gaussian distribution, as shown below: (2) in, represents the covariance matrix of the distribution, where represents the conjugate transpose.

[0007] In a possible implementation, step 2: establishing a random model based on the time-frequency spectrum of the signal and estimating model parameters of the random model includes: 2-1: Change the sequence As the observation sequence of the Hidden Markov Model HMM, ; Hidden state sequence , , there are only two hidden states, Indicates the noise state; represents the impact state, and the hidden state sequence is the parameter of the random model; the joint probability distribution of the random model is as follows: (3) in, is the parameter set of the model, represents the initial probability of the model, , express The transition probability is, , express The emission probability matrix, where ; 2-2: Use the forward-backward recursive formula to calculate the maximum likelihood value of equation (3) and calculate the forward probability of different time windows τ and the backward probability , the formula is as follows: (4) (5) 2-3: Use the forward and backward probability formula to calculate the time window τ as the state The posterior probability The calculation is as follows: (6) 2-4: Estimating the covariance matrix of different states i in the model , the calculation formula is as follows: (7).

[0008] In a possible implementation, step three: constructing a time-varying Wiener filter based on Bayes' theorem, includes: 3-1: The basic goal of signal reconstruction is to extract the noise-free non-stationary signal x(t) from the measured signal y(t) with the additive background noise signal n(t). First, according to the Bayesian theory, the τth observation value is obtained. The posterior probability distribution of is: (8) For time τ and frequency f, the posterior probability of the Fourier coefficients of the non-stationary signal is: (9) in and is the covariance matrix of the observation sequence under different states, which can be calculated by formula (7). According to the central limit theorem, the time-frequency spectrum of the non-stationary signal is It also obeys the complex Gaussian distribution, that is: (10) 3-2: By combining formula (9) and formula (10), the time-frequency spectrum of the non-stationary signal is obtained The mean and the covariance matrix As shown below: (11) The covariance matrix Substitute into the mean In the above example, we can obtain the time-frequency spectrum of the non-stationary signal. The expectations are as follows: (12).

[0009] In a possible implementation, the step 4, obtaining the reconstructed non-steady-state signal by inverse time-frequency transform, includes: Perform inverse short-time Fourier transform to obtain time-domain non-stationary signal x ( t ).

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present disclosure discloses a signal reconstruction method based on a time-varying filter, and a Bayesian spectrum amplitude estimation method, which uses the probability density function of the signal and noise process to capture and describe the frequency variation characteristics of non-stationary signals from the perspective of probability theory. By analyzing the hidden state of the signal spectrum, this method not only reveals the evolution process of the signal spectrum, but also provides useful information on the relationship between spectra. This information plays an important role in improving the accuracy of signal estimation, and helps to overcome the limitations of Wiener filtering in processing non-stationary signals, thereby achieving more accurate signal reconstruction and interference suppression. Compared with the classic Wiener filter, it can be seen that there is an additional hidden state posterior probability sequence in formula (12), which can be regarded as a time-varying Wiener filter. Through Adjustment can effectively make up for the limitations of processing non-steady-state signals, thereby achieving more accurate signal reconstruction and interference suppression.

[0011] Through the verification of case effects, it can be found that the Wiener filter combined with the state posterior probability sequence shows significant advantages in signal reconstruction. Specifically, this filter can reconstruct the signal more effectively because the state posterior probability sequence is closely related to the transient impact state information of the signal. Since the transient impact state reflects the key characteristics of the signal, it provides rich and accurate frequency domain information for the Wiener filter. The effective fusion of this frequency domain information enables the filter to accurately extract and reconstruct the detailed features of the original signal when facing complex interference, thereby significantly improving the quality and accuracy of signal reconstruction. This discovery provides strong support for further optimization of signal processing methods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
