his paper presents a mobile diagnostic system for
gears and other rotating mechanisms. For mobility, we use a
non-contact displacement measurement method based on the
Doppler Effect for electromagnetic waves. Microwave radar
sensor with quadrature conversion directly measures the
current small movements of the reflective surface of an object.
Subsequent signal processing system performs a sequential
search for predefined frequency signatures of defects.
Subsequent signal processing system performs a sequential
search for predefined frequency signatures of defects. We take
the features from databases of components of the object under
study or calculate them using the corresponding formulas for
pinions, gears, and bearings. Calculation algorithm uses timesynchronous averaging, envelope calculation, spectral analysis,
and frequency descriptors to reduce the signal-to-noise ratio.
