RADPro: Automatic RF analyzer and diagnostic program generation tool

This paper provides development of an RF circuit software tool that generates diagnostic programs automatically for device interface boards. The diagnostic tool utilizes novel techniques to differentiate faulty RF circuits embedded in printed circuit boards. The diagnostic tool provides user-transparent pseudocodes with high fault coverage and significantly decreases time to market.
