Inductive fault analysis revisited
No full textThe principles of inductive fault analysis (IFA), a technique for the determination of a list of the possible faults in an integrated circuit, ranked according to their probability of occurrence, are reviewed and criticised. It is pointed out that IFA should be upgraded to achieve reasonable flexibility in dealing with different MOS technologies and that the Monte Carlo approach, used for determination of fault probabilities, cannot practically provide reliable fault ranking. A possible approach to more algorithmic and less technology-dependent IFA and an alternative to the Monte Carlo method for evaluation of fault probabilities are discussed, together with a simple application example
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Experimental investigation of polarization mode dispersion properties in single-mode fibers using a new backscattering technique
No full textA new technique based on backscattering technique is developed to determine the differential group delay (DGD), beat-length (LB) and correlation length (LC) to measure polarization-mode dispersion. A temperature-tuned distributed feedback (DFB) laser is used as an optical source and the optical signal is fully polarized by means of a fiber polarizer. An Er-doped fiber laser increases the dynamic range and followed by an optical filter to reduce spontaneous emission. The results indicated that the new technique is able to perform polarization characterization of long fiber using only one end, even when a strong polarization coupling affects the fiber
