Vector analysis on the fault-tolerant abilities of combined analog circuit systems

Fault-tolerant mechanisms have been an essential part of electronic equipments in extreme environments these years. The combined analog circuit system can work properly when one or several parts of it break down. Then, what factors affect the fault-tolerant performance of such systems? System function is the most direct reflection of the output of a circuit, it can necessarily give us much useful information. From the perspective of vectors,this paper analyzed the phase angle of the combined circuit system based on system functions and furthermore inferred the relation between angle and fault-tolerant abilities. Experimental results show that, the larger angle a combined circuit system has, the better its fault-tolerant performance is, which will provide great benefit for designing analog circuit with better fault tolerance.
