Abstract
This paper introduces a novel time–frequency signal analysis method for analyzing nonlinear and non-stationary signals called the Reduced-order Time-Frequency Transform (RTFT). The RTFT technique offers the capabilities of traditional time–frequency transformations by employing Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient to selectively reduce the data volume in the joint time–frequency domain. This method emphasizes highly correlated frequencies and phases leading to a more efficient data representation without significant loss of accuracy. The RTFT is validated through comparative analysis with established methods, including the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), Fourier Synchrosqueezed Transform (FSST), and Wavelet Synchrosqueezed Transform (WSST). Several non-stationary synthesized and real-world vibration-based condition monitoring signals are analyzed using the RTFT and these mentioned methods to demonstrate the superiority of the RTFT in reducing data volume while maintaining accuracy.
