报告摘要:

The objective of this paper is to illustrate how to generate the nonminimum phase response of an electromagnetic system from amplitude only data. It is important to note that the phase reconstruction from amplitude only data yields a nonunique solution as a linear phase term can be added to the system response without distorting its amplitude response since the linear phase term only adds a delay.

Reconstruction of phase from amplitude-only data is an important problem. For minimum phase systems, the reconstructionofphase from amplitude-only data is relatively straight forward as the phase response is given by the Hilbert transform of the log of the magnitude (termed cepstrum) of the amplitude. If the system is not minimum phase (i.e., when some of the zeros of the transfer function may be on the right half-plane), then the above integral relationship does not hold. Most electromagnetic systems have a nonminimum phase response. Hence, this methodology developed for acoustic systems where almost all systems are minimum phase have very little use for the practical electromagnetic problems. However, there is a more general result of the Hilbert transform, which is based on causality. This latter result is valid for any nonminimum phase system. We utilize the principle of causality to carry out a nonminimum phase realizations. The principle of causality implies that the functionf(t) = 0 fort< 0, and is nonzero otherwise. It is important at the onset to point out that the phase realization (be it minimum or nonminimum phase) is not a unique problem. A linear-phase term may be added to any phase function without altering its amplitude spectrum. This is because the addition of a linear phase to the phase of the transfer function with a uniform amplitude is equivalent to a pure delay in the time domain. Since we are dealing with linear-shift invariant systems (as the response of the system is the same independent of the time origin), changing the impulse response of the system by a time shift does not alter the transfer function of the original system, except that the phase spectrum is modified by a linear-phase function. The slope of this linear-phase function is equivalent to the time delay. Also, the amplitude spectrum of the transfer function is unaltered by providing a delay to the impulse response of the system at hand.
