摘要

The frequency of a sinusoidal signal is a well defined quantity. However, often in practice, signals are not truly sinusoidal, or even aggregates of sinusoidal components. Nonstationary signals in particular do not lend themselves well to decomposition into sinusoidal components. For such signals, the notion of frequency loses its effectiveness, and one needs to use a parameter which accounts for the time-varying nature of the process. This need has given rise to the idea of instantaneous frequency (IF). The instantaneous frequency of a signal is a parameter which is often of significant practical importance. In many situations such as seismic, radar, sonar, communications, automation, vibration engineering, and biomedical applications, the instantaneous frequency is a good descriptor of some physical phenomenon. In this paper, the basic concepts necessary for the interpretation and use of the instantaneous frequency of a signal are investigated, and the definition of instantaneous frequency is discussed. A method for analyzing non-stationary signal is introduced to calculate instantaneous frequency of a signal, and the estimation procedures for the instantaneous frequency are given. This method is based principally on the concept of the local wave decomposition, according to which any complicated set of data can be decomposed into a finite and often small number of intrinsic mode functions that admit well-behaved Hubert transforms. Since the decomposition is based on the local characteristic time scale of the data, it is applicable and have the advantage that their spectral characteristics can be accurately controlled in almost every regard including duration, bandwidth and energy. These signals are also used extensively for estimation of Doppler frequency shift in radar returns, and for tracking the narrow-band components of passive sonar. They also appear in various natural situations, such as in the echo-location systems of bats. For these signals, the IF is an important characteristic; it is a time-varying parameter which defines the location of the signal's spectral peak as it varies with time. Conceptually it may be interpreted as the frequency of a sine wave which locally fits the signal under analysis. Physically, it has meaning only for monocomponent signals, where there is only one frequency or a narrow range of frequencies varying as a function of time. For multicomponent signals, to nonlinear and non-stationary processes. With the Hilbert transform, the intrinsic mode functions yield instantaneous frequencies as functions of time that give sharp identifications of imbedded structures. The main innovations embodied in this method are the introduction of the intrinsic mode functions based on local properties of the signal, which make the instantaneous frequency meaningful. An example from simulation experiment is given to demonstrate the power of this method. The method can be used to analyze complicated non-stationary signal. At the end of this paper, some related problems are discussed.
