Review of Fault Diagnosis System using Soft Computing Approach

Abstract

Detection of a possible failure in a circuit under test is called a fault diagnosis of a circuit. It includes precisely locating the fault location in a CUT and the degree of accuracy of fault detection, known as diagnostic resolution. Higher the diagnostic resolution more reliable products will be available to the end-user. In this paper, a review of a fault diagnosis system, different architecture that is used so far for diagnosis of fault in a circuit is done. The research work is further extended by proposing a novel diagnosis system using a soft computing approach.
