The invention belongs to the technical field of
aviation cable fault positioning, and particularly relates to a cable fault positioning method based on time-
frequency domain analysis, which comprises the following steps: firstly, collecting a cable fault
signal, adopting a GWO-VMD
algorithm, taking a minimum
sample entropy as a
fitness function, and optimizing to find an optimal
penalty factor and
decomposition layer number, so as to obtain a fault positioning result; removing a high
noise component obtained by VMD
decomposition according to the
current sample entropy, and obtaining a reflected
signal after
noise reduction; performing
cross term suppression on the reflected
signal after
noise reduction by using smooth pseudo Wigner distribution to obtain discrete SPWVD; and performing blind area
elimination on the discrete SPWVD based on a blind area
elimination algorithm of
hypothesis verification to obtain a fault distance. A grey wolf optimization
algorithm is applied to a
variational mode decomposition algorithm, and parameters of
decomposition layers and penalty factors of the VMD are optimized, so that the problem of interference of noise on reflection
signal extraction is solved; secondly, the smooth pseudo Wigner distribution is adopted to solve the problem of
cross term interference among a plurality of linear components in the traditional WVD distribution, and the positioning precision is improved.
