| Summary: | The time-frequency analysis has garnered attention for research due to its applications in studying non-stationary signals, revealing information often obscured by conventional time or frequency domain analysis. This study aims to reduce the computational cost associated with large dataset analysis using the smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD), a valuable time-frequency tool for analyzing various signal data. We used a 9000-sample acoustic signals from a milling machine, sampled at 100 kHz. Three approaches were pursued: the first consisting in calculating the average WVD from equidistant time windows; the second consisting in reducing the sampling rate by a factor of ‘k’ by creating an array where each ‘nth’ element corresponds to the ‘k*nth’ element of the original signal; and the third consisting in a joint analysis, incorporating a preprocessing routine into the second method. The mean WVD method distorted the time-frequency diagram with middle-range frequencies, while the second approach preserved the WVD, even with significant ‘k’ factors, reducing analysis time significantly. The Incorporation of the preprocessing routine in the sampling rate reduction process markedly reduces analysis time. |
