An Improved Method for Nonstationary Signals Components Extraction Based on the ICI Rule

This paper proposes an improved adaptive algorithm for components localization and extraction from a noisy multicomponent signal time-frequency distribution (TFD). The algorithm, based on the intersection of confidence intervals (ICI) rule, does not require any a priori knowledge of signal components and their mixture. Its efficiency is significantly enhanced by using high resolution and reduced cross-terms TFDs. The obtained results are compared for different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and various time and lag window types used in the modified B-distribution (MBD) calculation, proving the method to be a valuable tool in noisy multicomponent signals components extraction in the time-frequency (TF) domain.
