Rotating Machine Monitoring Based on Blind Source Separation of Correlated Source Signals
Ning Li, Hai Ting Chen, Shao Peng Liu · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2013
Blind source separation (BSS) which separate the unknown sources from the observed signals is a new signal processing technique. The most methods for solving this problem rely on assumptions of independence or uncorrelation of source signals at least. However, the observed signal is always interfered by signals with common frequency in the rotating machine, and difficult to be separated by the conventional BSS method. In this paper, it is proved that the source signals with common frequencies are correlative, and the separating error brought by the cross-correlation of the source signals is analyzed. A new separating method for the correlated source signals with frequency overlapping is presented and it is successfully applied to separate the monitoring signals of rotor test stand.
