Instantaneous frequencies (IF) of the AM-FM signal is estimated based on the inflection point detection (IPD) method. Local maxima/minima are detected using the IPD, and they are exploited to find the IF of AM and FM components, respectively. The envelope of the maxima/minima is obtained to estimate the IF of the AM part. And the distance between neighboring maxima (or minima) is used to estimate the IF of the FM component. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method properly estimates the IF of the AM and FM when the signal has fixed frequencies for both parts. In the case of the time-varying IF of the FM part, the estimated IF shows some deviation from the true IF due to the rough sampling effect of the maximum/minimum points. Thus, the post-processing such as the lowpass filtering of the estimated IF is required to refine the resulting IF estimation.

The analysis of Rader signal that have non-linearity variable phase is signal that contact easily in several fields such as radar, telecommunication, seismic, sonar and biomedical applications. In generally, Non-stationary signal means that spectral characteristics are varying with time and instantaneous frequency is only one frequency or narrow range of frequencies varying as a function of time. Therefore, Instantaneous frequency is vary important variable that understanding physical characteristic of signal. This paper was describes continuous wavelet transform to determine instantaneous frequency at non-staionary signal and compare to existing method. When white noise or various frequency is overlapped each other in sign, existing method was can not decide corrected instantaneous frequency, but when used continuous wavelet transform, very well decide correctly frequency regardless of component of signal.

Instantaneous Frequency(IF) of Doppler signals is used to get the information of relative velocity and miss distance between a missile and the corresponding target. Though Short-Time Fourier Transform(STFT) is mainly used to estimate IF, it has many errors in wide band signals where frequency changes sharply. Because it has a fixed window in time and frequency axes. This paper deals with IF estimation of Doppler signal using a Continuous Wavelet Transform(CWT) which has adaptive window in time and frequency axes. The proposed method is able to estimate IF regardless of frequency changes because it has a narrow window in high frequency band and a wide window in low frequency band. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms STFT in estimating IF.

An instantaneous frequency analysis is a technique to examine a signature for the rotating machinery if the signal has several transitions within a cycle. This paper discusses the conditions of existing negative frequency components in the instantaneous frequency. By using a signal consisted of two frequency components, the instantaneous frequency analysis is conducted while the amplitude ratio between two frequency components has been changed. The analysis shows that, depending on the amplitude ratio, the instantaneous frequencies have averaged, zero-valued, or negative components. It turns out that the negative-valued instantaneous frequencies, which have been regarded as the noise effect, are the consequence of the calculation process for the multisignal components. The criteria of existing the negative values in instantaneous frequencies is given in terms of the relative amplitude ratio and the frequency difference. Especially when the amplitude ratio approaches to 1, the instantaneous frequency fluctuates ${\pm}\infty$ in theory, which implies that instantaneous frequency has unstable region around the amplitude ratio, 1.Also, as the frequency difference between major signal components is increased, the region of existing negative instantaneous becomes broader. In an instantaneous frequency analysis, therefore, a narrow band analysis is suggested, with extreme care if the amplitude ratio approaches to 1. In this paper, a vibration signal monitored from a rotating machinery is also examined as an application example in order to show the existence of negative instantaneous frequencies components.

새로운 에너지 자원으로 활용 가능성을 포함하고 있는 가스 하이드레이트를 조사하기 위해 한국지질자원연구원에서는 동해일원에서 탄성파탐사를 실시하고 있다. 탄성파 반사자료로부터 가스 하이드레이트 부존여부를 확인하는 방법은 해저면과 평행하면서 위상이 반대로 나타나는 고진폭 반사파 BSR (Bottom Simulating Reflect ion)과 BSR 상부에서의 진폭감소, 하부에서 진폭증가와 구간속도 감소 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 고진폭 반사파는 free gas 또는 실리카를 포함하는 퇴적층에서도 발생하므로 이를 구별할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 여기에서는 가스 하이드레이트 탐사자료에 대한 일반자료처리와 함께 가스층 존재 유무를 확인하는 방법으로 많이 이용되는 탄성파 복소분석법을 적응하였다. 가스 하이드레이트 부존 유망지역에 대해 순간진폭, 순간진폭에 대한 1차, 2차 미분, 순간위상, 순간주파수 단면도를 제작하여 중합단면도와 비교하였으며 그 결과 순간진폭단면도의 경우 강한 BSR이 나타나는 지층경계면에서 순간진폭변화 차이를 강하게 보였으며, 순간주파수 단면도의 경우 BSR지역에서 고주파에서 저주파수로 변화함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The analysis of Radar signal, telecommunication, bioengineering, seismic, and acoustic signal is consist of the Non-stationary signal which has non-linear phase variation. Non-stationary signal means that the physical properties of signal depend on time variation and the instantaneous frequency represents physical property of these type of signal. Thus estimation of the instantaneous frequency of non-stationary signal is important subject in signal processing. In this work, the instantaneous frequency analysis method utilizing continuous wavelets transform is represented and compared with Hilbert Transform method.

The instantaneous frequency gives a frequency value at a time instance. Thus, it is natural to use the instantaneous frequency for detecting disturbances of voltage signal in power line. Various instantaneous frequency estimators are introduced. By applying to different types of disturbed signals, we show the estimators' ability to classify flickers. Also, the computational costs are compared between different instantaneous frequency estimators. The Prony's method (PRONY) and the modified covariance method (MCOV) need relatively smaller amount of calculation than the Teaser-Kaiser energy operator based estimator (DESA II). For an AM-FM modulated signal, the tracking performance of different instantaneous frequency estimators is also compared. Through simulation, it is shown that MCOV produces less variant frequency estimation values than DESA II and PRONY method.

There have been many different definitions of energy functions as the second statistics of a signal. In this paper, using the higher order differential energy function, we propose an algorithm separating the amplitude and frequency components in a discrete sinusoidal signal. The proposed amplitude and frequency estimation methods have less computational requirement than the existing methods. It also shows large computational advantage over the root mean square (RMS) calculation of a signal. The proposed methods can be used in the detection of abnormal events in signals on the power line. Computer simulations show that proposed frequency estimation method can detect the presence of voltage increase or decrease for a short period of time. Also, the proposed estimation methods have been compared with existing methods in terms of estimation error variance.
