This work proposes a feature extraction method from HilbertHuang-transform- orHHT-based data analysis of built-in test (BIT) signals, which are sampled on-site andwithout reference signals for fault diagnosis. The proposed method fully utilizes self-
adaptation of the HHT method in characterizing the envelope amplitude and instanta-neous frequency for the intrinsic mode function (IMF), so as to single out the featureswith most irregular characteristics. Simulations are carried out on steering gear feedbackvoltage signal of target drone aircraft, and the extracted features show great potentialfor the improvement in built-in fault diagnosis.
Keywords : HilbertHuang transform; built-in test; feature extraction; intrinsic modefunction; empirical mode decomposition.
1. Introduction
The built-in test (BIT) technology is an important way to improve the capability ofsystem testing and diagnosis, and it has played an important role in protecting the
operational readiness of electromechanical systems and improving maintenance effi-
ciency [Drees and Young (2002)]. However, the diagnosis method of traditional BIT
technology is too simple, and its ability of using diagnostic information is also lim-
ited because of the difficulty of adaptive feature extraction. Therefore, problems in
application such as the poor performance of fault detection and isolation, underre-
ported rate, and high false-alarm rate severely restrict the BIT system performance
into full play [Hwang et al. (2010)].
Feature extraction is usually an important part of fault classification and diag-nosis, and it extracts the features with the following condition: the properties or
values of different samples from the same class should be very close, whereas the
properties or values of samples from different classes should have a greater difference

[Duan and He (2007)]. In addition, this stage needs to extract the most discrimi-
nating features that are invariant for transformations whose class information is not
related [Wang et al.(2007)]. In most cases, the BIT system processes nonstationary
and nonlinear data; therefore, we consider using HilbertHuang transform (HHT),
which has expertise in the area of data processing to design the feature extractionprogram, thus supporting BIT system to achieve a low underreported rate and a
high accuracy of fault diagnosis [Tang et al. (2010)].
The HHT method, published by Norden E. Huang of NASA in 1998, is an
adaptive nonstationary and nonlinear signal analysis method, including empirical
mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform (HT) [Huang et al. (1998)]. HT
operates signals by convolution with the function 1/t, resulting in local properties
ofx(t), as the following equation:
y(t) =H{x(t)}= 1
CPV
x()t
d =x(t) 1t
, (1)
where CPVis Cauchy principle value. We can get the following equation from the
view of frequency domain:
Y(f) =jX(f) sgn(f) =
jX(f), f >0
0, f= 0
jX(f), f 0
X(f), f= 0

Built-in Test Signal Feature Extraction Method Based on HHT
The instantaneous frequency definition ofx(t) is as follows:
f(t) = 1
2(t) =
1
2
d
dt(t) (8)
If we calculate the instantaneous frequency of an actual signal with the above equa-tion directly, misjudgment could be caused by the bias component and multifre-
quency components, resulting in a large difference compared with the instantaneous
frequency of original signal. Therefore, if we want to use the HT to obtain mean-
ingful instantaneous frequency, then appropriate processing of the signal must be
made first. Therefore, we should filter out the local bias component and match
the average local symmetry to zero before making sense of the signal spectrum
analysis.
EMD is an important step in the HHT algorithm. Unlike the traditional methods
that use fixed shape windows as decomposition basis functions, that basis functions
of EMD are extracted from the signals, namely, intrinsic mode functions (IMFs),
which must meet the following two characteristics:
(1) Throughout the function, the number of extreme points and the number of zero
points should be either equal or differ by 1 and,
(2) At any time, the local mean of envelope defined by the local maximum envelopes
should be 0.
EMD will decompose a signal into a sum of a finite number of IMFs as well as the
residue, and the IMF makes the follow-up HT analysis meaningful by construct-
ing the analytic function to calculate the instantaneous frequency [Kopsinis and
McLaughlin (2009)].
The signal decomposition process in the HHT is driven by the signal itself with
full self-adaptation, and the IMF component signals can be realized physically,
which is in line with the actual situation of the objective world. The HHT is con-
sidered to be not only a powerful self-adaptive method of solving nonstationary and
nonlinear signals but also a major breakthrough in linear and steady-state spec-trum analyses based on Fourier transformation in recent years; therefore, it has
been widely applied.
In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to extract features adaptively
for nonstationary and nonlinear data in previous programs, this paper proposes
a BIT-signal feature extraction method based on HHT. In this paper, the HHT is
used to extract features adaptively with some algorithms and improve the diagnosis
accuracy in the follow-up BITs, which could make the difference between normal
signal and fault signal more distinguishable.
In Sec. 2, a new feature extraction method suitable for BIT signal is derived fromthe HHT, which consists of both EMD and HT. Section 3 presents the simulation
results and discussion, and Sec. 4 concludes this paper.

2. Methodology
This paper proposes a BIT-signal feature extraction method based on HHT. The
purpose of this paper is achieved as follows: using an EMD algorithm to decompose
the BIT-sampled signal into its first-order IMF (IMF1) and residual function, then
carrying out the HT on IMF1 to search the feature, and determining the starting
and ending time of potential failure feature; finally, intercepting the correspond-
ing characteristics of the signal out from the original signal. The flowchart of this
method is shown in Fig. 1, which is divided into five steps:
Step 1: EMD
The input signal is decomposed by the EMD algorithm, and then the IMF and
residue, denoted as IMF1 and RES, are obtained. Only one IMF is obtained from
the EMD process, which is described as follows:
(a) Input signal x(t), t= 1, 2, . . . , N ;
(b) Screening process initialization:k = 1,hk1(t) =x(t), wherehk1(t) is (k 1)
times screening of the residual function during the IMF decomposition;
(c) Implementation of screening procedures: first, using the cubic spline function,
find out the upper and lower envelopes ofhk(t); second, obtain the average of
the upper and lower envelopes mk1(t); finally, do hk(t) =hk1(t)mk1(t);

Built-in Test Signal Feature Extraction Method Based on HHT
(d) Judge whether hk(t) satisfies the conditions of IMF; make decision according
to standard deviation (SD) by calculating HSD = (hk1(t)hk(t))2/h2k1(t).
IfHSD is less than 0.25, then the IMF component c(t) =hk(t) and continue to
step 5, otherwise, k= k + 1, and return to step 3;
(e) The residue (RES) can be calculated by r(t) =x(t)c(t);(f) By now, the input signalx(t) consists of the IMF1 and the RES, which can be
shown as:x(t) =c(t) +r(t).
Step 2: HT
Through the HT, we can get the amplitude and instantaneous frequency.
At the beginning, according to Eq. (1), we obtain the discrete convolution of
IMF1:c(t), t= 1, 2, . . . , N . Then, the analytic signal ofc(t) is known asc(t) +jy(t).
The envelope of the signal a(t) can be calculated according to Eq. (6).
Finally, calculate the phase(t) and instantaneous frequencyf(t) of the analyticsignal as Eqs. (7) and (8).
After these steps, we prepare the obtained amplitude a(t) and instantaneous
frequencyf(t) for the next step.
Step 3: First-order difference
Calculate the first-order differential of the instantaneous frequency of IMF1, or
f(t).
In order to describe the variation of the instantaneous frequency of IMF1, cal-
culate f(t) by the following equation:f(t) =f(t+ 1)f(t). (9)
Step 4: Integrated estimation for feature location
Determine the characteristic position of time generally and also the set of
appearance time of the potential failure.
Generally, the original sampling signals of BIT do not contain the original
model, which can be seen as nonstationary, nonlinear signal, and the IMF1 of the
input signal not only contains the false alarm and noise signal but also reflects the
high-frequency components of fault signal, and the amplitude somewhat decreases;therefore, the diagnosis of faults directly from IMF1 is not ideal, but use HT on
the IMF1; from its amplitude and instantaneous frequency, we can determine the
potential fault signal occurring time.
At first, calculate the absolute value of the first-order difference of the instan-
taneous of IMF1, or g(t):
g(t) =|f(t)|. (10)
Because there is a process of striking envelope curve in the process of EMD, it is
likely to exit end effect in the application. Therefore, it is necessary to shield offthe first and the end 10% data, and these data are excluded from the set of feature
times by means of 0.1N < t 0.9N. The data that are less than the average value
ing(t) will be removed. While calculating the difference oft, the data int and t + 1

are used; the instant t+ 1 should be contained in the set of feature time, ifg(t) is
not less than the average. In addition, some selected features, whose amplitude is
less than the average in a(t), will also be excluded. At last, the set of feature time
is given as Eq. (11) where the criterion is obtained empirically as follows:
=
t
g(t) g or g (t1) g
a(t) a, 0.1N < t 0.9N
. (11)
For further explanation about Eq. (11), this empirical criterion is designed to filter
out the original features (or suspected fault times) with a certain rate of change
in instantaneous frequency, so g(t) g is chosen incipiently. Experimental results
showed that if we only use this, a lot of false-alarm signal features (usually with
small amplitude) were also selected out; therefore, we added a(t) a to avoid
choosing the false alarm features. Besides, fault diagnosis expert system generallyrequires that the BIT signal has at least five consecutive times as a valid input data;
therefore, many features with high rate of change in instantaneous frequency are
thrown away due to not meeting the length requirement, which results in higher
missed detection rate; therefore, we adopt g(t) g or g(t 1) g instead of
g(t) g to obtain more suspected fault features with required consecutive times.
Moreover, we utilize 0.1N < t 0.9Nto avoid the EMD end effect problem.
Step 5: Final features generation
The final features are generated based on the original signal. As the generated
features should enter the BIT system for faults diagnosis, only these features owing
a certain length or dimension are meaningful. In practical application, we can delete
continuous time sequence of which the total length is less than 5 (including noncon-
tinuous single time point) from the set of feature time , then we could obtain a
new set of feature time consisting one or more pieces of continuous composition, and
the total length of each time sequence is greater than or equal to 5; the final feature
signal is intercepted in accordance with on the input signal, i.e., x(t), t .
The proposed feature extraction method at least has the following two
advantages:
(1) The proposed method processes the BIT signals by means of HHT, which con-
tains two steps, namely, EMD and HT. The fault features are generated from
the original signals by analyzing the instantaneous amplitude and frequency.
The presented approach is more adaptive and flexible than the other feature
extraction methods.
(2) The proposed method essentially adopts a reduction strategy directly targeted
for the raw data rather than a data transformation strategy. It not only makes
feature signals retain the original physical meaning of the raw data but also
makes the follow-up BITs able to accumulate diagnosis data and update the
fault diagnosis database, which is convenient for the application of decision-
making or higher-level analysis.

Built-in Test Signal Feature Extraction Method Based on HHT
3. Experimental Results
To indicate the specific implementation of proposed feature extraction method, we
use the target drone aircrafts steering gear feedback voltage signals sampled by its
BIT system as an example. Target drone aircraft is a major type of air target, which
can also be used as bait for enemy targets. It is a kind of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
that has lifting surface and relies on the autopilot and radio systems for motor
control. This experimental example signal gets interception from the steering gear
feedback voltages while the target drone aircraft performs some provisions self-check
tasks [Liu and Lin (2007)]. Five sections of original data are selected both in normal
condition and in fault condition, and the initial position calibration is carried out
for all of the 10 sections of original data. The interference action is added at time
70 0.1 s to the target drone aircraft, and it results in two different effects: voltage
drop is more uniform in normal mode, whereas voltage drop completes after a sharpdrop and recover in fault mode. The BIT system uses SD to detect the abnormal
phenomenon of the sharp drop and recovery.
The experiment selects five sections of the original data in both normal and
fault conditions as input data and performs the following steps separately, which are
exactly the same. Take one section of data as an example, the actual implementation
is as follows:
First, the EMD is carried out on the input data to obtain the IMF1 and the
RES function.
Second, HT is carried out on IMF1 to obtain its amplitude and instantaneousfrequency. Equation (1) is used to carry out the discrete convolution of c(t) and
obtain the HHTy(t) on IMF1. Then, Eq. (6) is used to get the envelope amplitude
a(t) of the analytic signalc(t)+jy(t). Further, Eqs. (7) and (8) are used to calculate
the phase angle(t) and the instantaneous frequency f(t) of the analytic signal.
Third, Eq. (9) is used to calculate the first-order difference f(t) of IMF1s
instantaneous frequency.
Fourth, determine the location of the features, i.e., identify the set of moments
when potential fault features occur. Equation (10) is used to calculate the absolute
value g(t) of the first-order difference of IMF1s instantaneous frequency. Then,Eq. (11) is used to identify the set of feature time .
Finally, generate the final feature based on the original signal. Remove consecu-
tive time sequences (include nonconsecutive single point of time) whose total length
is less than 5 from the set of feature time to get a new set of feature moments
(consists of one or more segments of continuous feature time sequences, and
the total length of each segment should be more than or equal to 5), and the
final feature signals are intercepted in accordance with on the input signals, i.e.,
x(t), t .
Next, the efficiency of the method of extracting features is analyzed and verified
in both normal condition and fault condition. The feedback voltage of steering
gear in the normal condition showed in Fig. 2 is transformed to the IMF1 showed

sequences whose total length is less than 5, we can get the feature time sequences
as shown in Fig. 8, and the signal segments matching the feature time location of
the original signal are the final features we extract.
In the same way, after carrying out all the steps of the method proposed in thispaper on the feedback voltage of steering gear in the fault condition as shown in

experiments in the same operational instruction condition, and the final feature
location is showed in Figs. 18 and 19. It should be noted that we get two segments
of consecutive feature time sequences from the data of index 5; therefore, we should
calculate the two segments of data, respectively, to obtain the SDs, but we only
use the larger value of them in diagnosis. SD values reflect the disperse degree offeatures, and a fault can be diagnosed if the value is too large. From the result
of Table 1, the SDs of indexes 15 are less than 0.4V (SD is 0.3320V); how-
ever, the SDs of indexes 610 are more than 0.6 V (SD is 0.7431 V). The former,

corresponding to the real situations, are normal, whereas the latter are faulty. Itis so clear that with the help of the feature extraction method proposed in this
paper, we can obtain not only the greater diagnostic margin but also the higher
efficiency.

4. Conclusions
In this paper, we have proposed a BIT-signal feature extraction method based on
HHT. The proposed method essentially adopts a reduction strategy that is directly
targeted for the raw data, rather than a data transformation strategy. Since thefault features are generated from the original signals by analyzing the envelope
amplitude and instantaneous frequency of IMF, this approach is more adaptive
and flexible than other feature extraction methods. Simulations are carried out on
steering gear feedback voltage signal of target drone aircraft, and the extracted
features show great potential for the improvement in the built-in fault diagnosis.
