This paper proposes a novel multiple amplitude modulation and frequency modulation (AM–FM) demodulation method based on local modulation signal bispectrum (LMSB), which can demodulate the fault features of different components from the gearbox signal with multi-mesh frequency bands and multi-modulation components. Firstly, the collected measurement signal is decomposed into a series of sub-band signals, and the generated sub-band signals are demodulated by modulation signal bispectrum (MSB), which realizes the simultaneous demodulation of multi-mesh frequency bands and multi-modulation components. Subsequently, each sub-band signal resulting from MSB demodulation is synchronously averaged to generate the LMSB, which removes random noise and interference frequencies from the sub-band signals. Finally, the periodic modulation intensity (PMI) is utilized to evaluate the ability of the LMSB to demodulate multi-component signals with AM–FM components. The effectiveness of LMSB in processing multi-component signals with AM–FM components is demonstrated by numerical simulation signals and experimental analysis. Analysis results demonstrate the superiority of LMSB in multiple AM–FM demodulation compared with MSB, envelope analysis (EA) and Teager energy operator (TEO). This research provides a novel perspective for gearbox fault detection.
