The peak amplitude of the signals in a pair of preselected frequency bands is then detected and the ratio between these two signals determined. This ratio is then compared against a value representing an acceptable ratio experimentally or theoretically derived to determine whether the measured ratio is within acceptable tolerances for the machine. The bands utilized are preferably a first band within a high frequency vibrational range, and a second band lower in frequency than this first band with the signals in these bands being of medium amplitude relative to all of the signals developed in the spectral analysis.,下面是Method and apparatus for testing the condition of a machine专利的具体信息内容。
