A Real time Alternative to the Hilbert Huang Transform Based on Internal Model Principle

Abstract

This article presents a new tuning approach for an adaptive internal-model-principle based signal identification algorithm whose computational costs are low enough to allow a realtime implementation. The algorithm allows an instantaneous Fourier decomposition of non-stationary signals that have a strongly predictable component. The algorithm is implemented as a feedback loop resulting in a closed loop system with a frequency response of a bandpass filter with notches at the frequencies of the Fourier decomposition. This is achieved through real time selection of the coefficients of the transfer functions in the feedback loop. Previously these coefficients were selected by solving a large set of coupled linear equations. Rules for explicitly solving for these parameters are given that only involve evaluating frequency responses at the frequencies of the instantaneous Fourier decomposition. This allows realtime implementation on a low cost lap top with sampling rates up to 10 kHz.
