Abstract

Analog circuit fault diagnosis can be modeled as a pattern recognition problem. Fault patterns are complicated which has high demands for classification accuracy and efficiency. Therefore a new analog circuit fault diagnosis method using Echo State Networks (ESNs) is proposed. We adopt the time windows function to construct reservoir with corresponding clusters of ESNs inspired by complex network topologies imitating cortical networks of the mammalian brain. Multiple-cluster reservoir is generated instead of nonclustering reservoir of the original ESNs with random sparse connections. We use the number of classes to determine the number of clusters to improve performances in specific analog circuit fault diagnosis problems. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
