Abstract

Swept-sine vibration test plays a significant role in product validations. As its basic step, the accuracy and efficiency of complex amplitude (which includes the amplitude and phase information of swept-sine signal) extraction have an important impact on the performance of swept-sine vibration test. In order to improve the efficiency while ensuring its accuracy, a swept-sine integration method is proposed. The proposed swept-sine integration method, which is inspired by tracking filter method and tracking integration method, utilizes a weighted integral process to extract the complex amplitude. A numeral example is presented to compare the performance of the proposed method with several other methods for complex amplitude extraction which are also reviewed in this paper. By comparing the results of the numerical example, some light is shed on the strength of the method proposed. Afterwards, the swept-sine integration method is applied in a real test, further validating the appliance value of this method.
