Problem description

Assume information about a linear time-invariant (LTI) measurement system to be available in terms of its frequency response values \(H(j\omega)\) at a set of frequencies together with associated uncertainties:

\[u(\mathbf{H}) = (u(\vert H(j\omega_1)\vert),\ldots,u(\vert H(j\omega_N)\vert),u(\angle H(j\omega_1)),\ldots,u(\angle H(j\omega_N)))\]

Simulated measurement

Measurements with this system are then modeled as a convolution of the system’s impulse response

\[h(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}(H(j\omega))\]

with the input signal \(x(t)\), after an analogue-to-digital conversion producing the measured signal

\[y[n] = (h\ast x)(t_n) \qquad n=1,\ldots,M\]
# simulate input and output signals
time = np.arange(0, 4e-3 - Ts, Ts)
#x = shocklikeGaussian(time, t0 = 2e-3, sigma = 1e-5, m0=0.8)
m0 = 0.8; sigma = 1e-5; t0 = 2e-3

Design of the deconvolution filter

The aim is to derive a digital filter with finite impulse response (FIR)

\[g(z) = \sum_{k=0}^K b_k z^{-k}\]

such that the filtered signal

\[\hat{x}[n] = (g\ast y)[n] \qquad n=1,\ldots,M\]

Determine FIR filter coefficients such that

\[H(j\omega) g(e^{j\omega/F_s}) \approx e^{-j\omega n_0 / F_s} \qquad \text{for} \qquad \vert\omega\vert\leq\omega_1\]

with a pre-defined time delay \(n_0\) to improve the fit quality (typically half the filter order).

Consider as least-squares problem

\[(y-Xb)^TW^{-1}(y-Xb)\]

with - \(y\) real and imaginary parts of the reciprocal and phase shifted measured frequency response values - \(X\) the model matrix with entries \(e^{-j k \omega/Fs}\) - \(b\) the sought FIR filter coefficients - \(W\) a weighting matrix (usually derived from the uncertainties associated with the frequency response measurements

Filter coefficients and associated uncertainties are thus obtained as

\[b = \left( X^TW^{-1}X \right)^{-1}X^TW^{-1}y\]
\[u_b= \left( X^TW^{-1}X \right)^{-1} X^TW^{-1}U_yW^{-1}X\left( X^TW^{-1}X \right)^{-1}\]

In order to render the ill-posed estimation problem stable, the FIR inverse filter is accompanied with an FIR low-pass filter.

Application of the deconvolution filter for input estimation is then carried out as

\[\hat{x}[n-n_0] = (g\ast(g_{low}\ast y)[n]\]

with point-wise associated uncertainties calculated as

\[u^2(\hat{x}[n-n_0] = b^TU_{x_{low}[n]}b + x_{low}^T[n]U_bx_{low}[n] + trace(U_{x_{low}[n]}U_b)\]

Basic workflow in PyDynamic

Fit an FIR filter to the reciprocal of the measured frequency response

from PyDynamic.deconvolution.fit_filter import LSFIR_unc
bF, UbF = LSFIR_unc(H,UH,N,tau,f,Fs, verbose=False)

with

  • H the measured frequency response values

  • UH the covariance (i.e. uncertainty) associated with real and imaginary parts of H

  • N the filter order

  • tau the filter delay in samples

  • f the vector of frequencies at which H is given

  • Fs the sampling frequency for the digital FIR filter

Propagate the uncertainty associated with the measurement noise and the FIR filter through the deconvolution process

xhat,Uxhat = FIRuncFilter(yn,noise,bF,UbF,shift,blow)

with

  • yn the noisy measurement

  • noise the std of the noise

  • shift the total delay of the FIR filter and the low-pass filter

  • blow the coefficients of the FIR low-pass filter
