    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.

    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

    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

    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,

    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.
