Systems and methods for compression of high-frequency signals

A system comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access said at least one memory, said at least one processor further configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to:
• receive a signal;
• correct the signal;
• determine a number of samples to be collected from the corrected signal;
• divide the corrected signal into a plurality of packets;
• store a maximum value of the corrected signal for each packet of the plurality of packets;
• and
• generate a waveform based at least in part on the maximum value stored for each packet of the plurality of packets.

A method comprising:

• receiving, from a monitored machine, a high-frequency signal having a frequency of at least approximately 100 kHz;
• correcting the high-frequency signal by recording only a predefined portion of the high-frequency signal;
• determining a number of samples to be collected from the corrected high-frequency signal;
• dividing the high-frequency signal into a plurality of packets based at least in part on the number of samples;
• storing a maximum value of the corrected high-frequency signal for each packet of the plurality of packets;
• and
• generating a waveform based at least in part on the maximum value stored for each packet of the plurality of packets.
