This study introduces a Recursive Empirical Mode Decomposition (REMD) method to accurately measure shock wave pressure (SWP) by filtering low-frequency noise. REMD enhances signal integrity and measurement accuracy in SWP analysis.
Area of Science:
- Signal Processing
- Acoustics
- Measurement Science
Background:
- Shock Wave Pressure (SWP) measurement is often ill-posed due to low-frequency noise interference.
- Existing methods struggle to accurately filter noise without compromising signal integrity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an improved noise-filtering method for SWP measurement signals.
- To enhance the accuracy and reliability of SWP data acquisition.
Main Methods:
- Proposed Recursive Empirical Mode Decomposition (REMD) for adaptive signal decomposition.
- Developed a mode classification scheme based on energy gradient and ringing amplitude ratio.
- Utilized adaptive diminishing white noise-assisted technology for iterative component extraction.
Main Results:
- REMD effectively filters low-frequency noise from SWP signals.
- Simulated and real-world experiments show REMD yields superior Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and lower Percent Range Difference (PRD).
- The method demonstrated significant improvements in denoising ability and signal integrity compared to existing approaches.
Conclusions:
- The proposed REMD method offers a robust solution for accurate SWP measurement.
- REMD enhances the reliability of SWP data, crucial for various scientific and engineering applications.
- This technique improves upon existing methods for noise reduction in complex measurement signals.
