A Method to Supress Interferences in Wigner-Ville Distribution
Pikula, Stanislav ; Pazdera, Luboš (referee) ; Hájek, Karel (referee) ; Beneš, Petr (advisor)
The doctoral thesis focuses on signal representation in the time-frequency domain with constant resolution. In theoretical introduction the possibilities of displaying a signal in time and frequency are summarized. Attention is concentrated on comparison of short-time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD). The latter achieves a significantly better resolution, especially for a linearly modulated signal. The disadvantage of WVD, which is the presence of interferences resulting from the calculation of the instantaneous autocorrelation function, is described in detail. These interferences are due to the presence of multiple components in the signal or its non-linear modulation. Subsequently, several methods are discussed, which can suppress these interferences, but at the cost of resolution loss. One of the interference suppression methods is smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution. It is further used in this thesis for the analysis of interference suppression when various filtrations in the time-frequency plane are applied. Several signals with multiple components or various non-linear modulations are used. Based on the analysis, a method using a set of variously smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distributions is designed to estimate the time-frequency representation with high resolution and minimal interferences. To compare the results to other methods, the quantitative metrics used in the literature are compared. To select the appropriate one a new metric is suggested. It is applicable to simulated signals and uses mean square error. Based on the comparison, the Stankovi\'{c} measure is selected as the most appropriate for comparing results. The selected metric is used to determine the appropriate minimal number of differently smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distributions. Using the selected metric, the proposed method is compared with other methods. These are STFT with optimized window length, S-method with optimized parameter and optimization method using radial Gaussian kernel (RGK). These methods are compared based on the set of signals previously used for interference suppression analysis. In addition, noises are added to the signals. Finally, the methods are also compared based on the real bat echo signal. In conclusion, the proposed method outperforms the compared methods in suppressing interference and resolution.
