Vibration signal parameter estimation for rotating machinery diagnostics operating under variable speedconditions is considered. At first, we provide a brief survey of existing methods for Quadratic Phase Signal (QPS)parameter estimation. Then, we introduce improved solutions for the general QPS case and the Order QPS (O-QPS)case, respectively. For all considered cases (namely the QPS, O-QPS with tachometer and O-QPS without tachometer),we develop the Cramer Rao Bounds to assess and compare the estimation performance limits for each model. Finally, wecompare the performance of all considered methods and highlight, in particular, the gain of the proposed solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
