Abstract

Oscillation Based Testing (OBT) is an effective and simple solution to the testing problem of continuous time analogue electronic filters. In this paper, diagnosis based on OBT is described for the first time. It will be referred to as OBD. A fault dictionary is created and used to perform diagnosis with artificial neural networks (ANNs) implemented as classifiers. The robustness of the ANN diagnostic concept is also demonstrated by the addition of white noise to the “measured” signals. The implementation of the new concept is demonstrated by testing and diagnosis of a second order notch cell realized with one operational amplifier. Single soft and catastrophic faults are considered in detail and an example of the diagnosis of double soft faults is also given.
