 | Furse, Cynthia M.; Harrison, Reid R. | Low-power STDR CMOS sensor for locating faults in aging aircraft wiring | A CMOS sensor used to locate intermittent faults on live aircraft wires is presented. A novel architecture was developed to implement the Sequence Time Domain Reflectometry method on a 0.5- m integrated circuit. The sensor locates short or open circuits on active wires with an accuracy of +/-1 ft w... | Aging aircraft wire; CMOS sensors; Fault detection; Pseudo-random noise; Reflectometry methods; Spread spectrum; Wire fault location | 2006-01-01 |
