Pseudo Cohen Time-Frequency Distributions in Infinite Variance Noise Environment

Abstract

stable distribution has been suggested as a more appropriate model in impulsive noise environment.The performance of conventional time-frequency distributions (TFDs) degenerate in stable distribution noise environment. Hence, three improved methods are proposed based on Fractional Low Order statistics, Fractional Low Order Wigner-Ville Distribution (FLO-WVD), Fractional Low Order Statistic pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution (FLO-PWVD), Fractional Low Order Statistic Cohen class distribution (FLO-Cohen). In order for real-time, on-line operation and fairly long signals processing, a new smoothed pseudo Fractional Low Order Cohen class distribution (PFLO-Cohen) is proposed.Simulations show that the methods demonstrate the advantages in this paper, are robust.
