Time vs. FrequencySeptember 21, 1999Ron Denton Time Domain vs. Frequency Domain What is the Time Domain ? How is the Time Domain Measured ? What is the Frequency Domain ? How is the Frequency Domain Measured ? What does this have to do with Vibration ? How are the two domains related ? The Time Domain (for our use) is . . . A graphical representation of the change of some value with respect to time How the Time Domain is Measured The Frequency Domain (for our use) is . . . . A graphical representation of the amount of energy present in a signal at each of many frequencies The Frequency Domain amplitude is usually measured in RMS or Peak The frequency domain values are really just a series of sinusoidal equivalents, so amplitudes are usually represented the same as in the time domain. The frequency domain is usually derived by computing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of a time domain signal. What does this have to do with Vibration ? Transducers, such as accelerometers, convert mechanical energy into electrical signals The electrical signals are measured with various devices Most of these devices record the time data The time data is converted to the frequency domain within these devices Vibration analysts use the time and frequency domain data to interpret machinery condition The Time and Frequency Domains are related by . . . . Sinusoidal Signal Examples Sinusoidal Signal Examples Sinusoidal Signal Examples Sinusoidal Signal Examples Sinusoidal Signal Examples Sinusoidal Signal Examples These examples illustrate that . . . The time and frequency domains are related A sinusoid in the time domain has a unique value in the frequency domain Complex combinations of time domain sinusoids can be separated and displayed in the frequency domain Signals other than sinusoids can be represented in the frequency domain accurately A practical example to wrap up A customer is using an accelerometer to measure sinusoidal vibration . . . . .
