Blind Deconvolution Technique Based on Improved Correlated Generalized Lp / Lq Norm for Extracting Repetitive Transient Feature.

Since minimum correlated generalized Lp/Lq deconvolution (MCG-Lp/Lq-D) cannot simultaneously have a good sensing ability to repetitive fault impulses and a strong robustness to noise when processing low SNR signals, a new deconvolution method, minimum improved correlated generalized Lp/Lq deconvolution (MICG-Lp/Lq-D), is proposed in this article. The proposed method is designed based on a novel norm, the improved correlated generalized Lp/Lq (ICG-Lp/Lq) norm. The ICG-Lp/Lq norm not only has the low-order statistics form that is similar to the correlated generalized Lp/Lq (CG-Lp/Lq) norm used in MCG-Lp/Lq-D, but also has the high shift-order signal correlation construction similar to the correlated kurtosis (CK) norm used in maximum correlated kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD). This guarantees that the proposed norm is robust enough to strong noise and can improve its sensing ability for repetitive impulses simultaneously. This feature of the ICG-Lp/Lq norm ensures that MICG-Lp/Lq-D can suppress outliers and extract weak impacts when processing low SNR signals. Simulated and experimental case studies verify the performance of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed method is robust enough to strong noise and very sensitive to repetitive impulses simultaneously, which indeed overcomes the aforementioned defects of MCG-Lp/Lq-D. Therefore, MICG-Lp/Lq-D can be considered a promising tool for detecting repetitive impulses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
