Reliability, the probability that a system will not fail but will
perform correctly at least until some arbitrary time, is becoming
an increasingly important concept in electronic system design. This
probability is evaluated using probability density functions which are
obtained analytically by forming mathematical expressions describing the failure distributions of...
Active transmission lines, a generalization of classical transmission
lines, are useful electrical devices. They can be utilized to
realize distributed amplifiers and to obtain other electrical characteristics unattainable with passive lines. Active lines have historical
significance and model many physical processes including heat
conduction in an internally heated material, a...
