A Generalized Demodulation and Hilbert Transform Based Signal Decomposition Method by Zhi-Xiang Hu, Wei-Xin Ren, Zuo-Cai Wang, Yue-Ling Jing, Xia Yang

“…The main procedure is to extract the components with frequencies higher than a given bisecting frequency by three steps: (1) the generalized demodulation is used to project the components with lower frequencies onto negative frequency domain, (2) the Hilbert transform is performed to eliminate the negative frequency components, and (3) the inverse generalized demodulation is used to obtain the signal which contains components with higher frequencies only. By running the procedure recursively, all monocomponent signals can be extracted efficiently. …”
