In diagnosing of mechanical machinery, it is often improtant to get information about the movement inside the machine casing. If the values of internal tities may be derived from the measurement using sensors installed on the external casing, it would be much better in many senses. This paper discusses extracting internal gear movements byfrequencydemodulation from gear meshing force signatures which can be recovered from the vibrations though inverse filter. There are several way in demodulating signals. In this paper, especially, Hibert Transform, Wigner-Ville distribution, and Teager energy operator are examined and compared. Effects of noise on the frequency demodulation methods and the behavior of bandpass filtered noisy signal are discussed using simulated time-varying frequency signals.
