1. A method for detecting the existence of a mechanical component fault from a raw data source signal comprising a target fault characteristic signal, one or more interference signals and intrinsic noise signals, said target fault characteristic signal featuring periodically occurring frequency, phase and amplitude modulations, said method comprising:

  • a) transforming said raw data source signal using one or more transformations which incorporate any combination of two or more of frequency, phase and amplitude demodulations of said raw data source signal;

    b) transforming said signal obtained in step a) to a frequency domain; and

    c) identifying a target fault characteristic signature which corresponds to said target fault characteristic signal.
