چکیده
A software program that can be considered as a tool for the fault diagnosis of analog linear circuit is presented. The proposed program implements a numerically efficient approach to identify complex ambiguity groups in the case of circuit of great size and low testability. This approach is based on an efficient QR factorization technique applied to the testability matrix. An amplifier circuit is shown as example of application of the software program.
