A signal decomposition algorithm based on complex AM-FM model

Abstract

Model-based adaptive signal decomposition algorithm is an important research topic in the field of signal analysis. The amplitude modulated and frequency modulated (AM-FM) model is the most common model in the signal. In this paper, an adaptive signal decomposition algorithm based on the complex AM-FM model is proposed. This algorithm first obtains the analytical expression of the analyzed signal; and then the optimal equation of the analytic signal based on the model is realized by initializing the instantaneous frequency (IF) of the model. Finally, the partial differential equation and the alternating direction method of multipliers technique are used to solve the optimization equation to achieve a high precision estimation of the model. Experiments on simulated and real-life data verify that the proposed algorithm can accurately estimate the instantaneous amplitude (IA) and IF of each component in the signal, and has strong robustness and high efficiency.
