GAD Signal Processing System

Technology Overview

GAD Group's GAD Signal Processing (GSP) signal analyser is a novel (worldwide patent pending), configurable and versatile DSP signal analysis system that provides a more intuitive representation of the sinusoidal/non-sinusoidal components in real world signals than existing techniques.

The fixed integer window size in well known and understood techniques such as STFT's compromise the precision of frequency discrimination and temporal information.

Frequency and Phase Precision

GSP presents an alternative to that compromise. GSP may be considered as a cascade of one or more filter banks that have variable non-integer window sizes at each frequency. As the filters are not constrained by integer window sizes they can be spaced arbitrarily in frequency.

Each cascade generates at its output a 3D surface that is then analysed by a variety of techniques after every input sample. The output of one such technique generates localised peaks in amplitude, frequency and time, which reduces the data size whilst retaining the core information. The resultant data may then be visualised or further analysed.

Applications

Further analysis may include (but is not limited to) locating transients, detecting new sinusoidal frequencies, anti-phasing signals, determining harmonic relationships, searching for phase coincidences that may cause resonances, finding and describing time / frequency / amplitude curves, re-constructing a representation of the signal by generating sine waves, feeding into a neural network.
