Frequency Analysis with Cross-Correlation Envelope Approach

A new approach for frequency analysis of recorded signals and readout the frequency of harmonics is presented in the paper. The main purpose has been achieved by the cross$correlation function and Hilbert transform. Using the method presented in the paper, there is another possibility to observe and finally to identify single harmonic apart from commonly used Fourier transform. Identification of the harmonic is based on the effect of a straight line of the envelope of the cross$correlation function when reference and signal harmon$ ic have the same frequency. This particular case is the basis for pointing the value of the frequency of harmonic component detected.
