An efficient technique based on DORT method to locate multiple soft faults in wiring networks

Abstract : Decomposition of the time reversal operator (DORT) recently adopted to wiring fault detection and localization presented effectual results when dealing with a single soft fault along with complex network configurations. On the other hand, it failed in handling the task of locating multiple faults within even simple ones. In this paper, we propose an enhanced version of the standard DORT technique (EDORT) which is based on a complementary procedure enabling the accurate and selective localization of multiple soft faults in various wiring systems.
