Abstract
The insulation performance of cables plays an important role in the safe and stable operation of aircraft. Time–frequency domain reflectometry (TFDR) is an effective method to detect the local insulation faults of cables. Usually, Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD) is used to analyze the energy distribution of reflected signals in TFDR. However, WVD can easily introduce cross-term interference to the detection results. In addition, most of the current studies have used TFDR to perform offline detection of cable insulation fault, and the performance of TFDR for online operation is unclear. In order to solve the above problems, first, this paper eliminates the interference of cross-term based on smoothed pseudo-Wigner–Ville distribution. Then, an online cable insulation fault detection platform based on non-contact signal injection is built. According to the requirements of the standard GJB181A, the interference degree of the incident signal of TFDR to the original signal of cable is analyzed, and the feasibility of using TFDR method to perform online detection is proved. Finally, the correlation between different features of reflected signals under different fault degrees of cable is analyzed. It is proved that time-domain correlation has a better correlation with the fault degree of cable compared to other four features.
