- (1)
- The GI of the constant signal is zero. If there is a large bias in the signal, the bias should be canceled first before the calculation of the GI.
- (2)
- The GI of the ideal cyclical impulse series decreases with the increase in the impulse number.
- (3)
- The distribution of the noise plays an important role in the calculation of the GI. The GI of white noise with normal distribution is around 0.4142.
- (4)
- For the cyclic impulse series affected by white noise, the GI is influenced in a comprehensive manner by the amplitude of the impulse, the number of impulses and the degree of noise. Generally, the GI increases with the increment of the impulse number. The bigger the difference between the amplitude of the impulse and the variance of the white noise, the greater the value of GI is. Therefore, the GI is powerful when it is used for characterizing the impulsive intensity of the multiple-impulse phenomenon.
- (5)
- Both simulation and experimental analyses show that methods based on the maximization of the GI can be used for the extraction of cyclical impulses and are more powerful than those based on the maximization of kurtosis.
