Multiple output terminal reliability for circuits

Abstract

A new approach for determining multiple output terminal reliability of communication circuits is proposed.The approach represents the multiple output terminal paths of given circuits in the form of minterms;and then a switching theoretic approach is used so as to result in non-overlapping simplification of multiple output Boolean functions. The technique will give disjoint terms in which the branch reliability value can be substituted and the multiple output reliabilities are determined. One detailed example using the proposed methodology is then presented.
