Abstract
There are plenty of methods proposed for analog electronic circuit diagnosis, but the most popular ones are the fault dictionary techniques. Admitting more cases in a fault dictionary can be seen as a natural development towards a CBR system. The proposal of this paper is to extend the fault dictionary towards a Case Based Reasoning system. The case base memory, retrieval, reuse, revise and retain tasks are described. Special attention to the learning process is taken. An application example on a biquadratic filter is shown. The faults considered are parametric, permanent, independent and simple, although the methodology could be extrapolated for catastrophic and multiple fault diagnosis. Also, the method is focused and tested only on passive faulty components. Nevertheless, it can be extended to cover active devices as well.
