THE SYNTHESIS OF REDUNDANT MULTIPLE-LINE NETWORKS
Abstract
This report describes a synthesis technique for redundant multiple line networks which determines the optimum placement of restorers for minimum cost. The cost expression is a function of system reliability, cost of implementation, weight, power, and speed. The redundant networks are required to have the same order of redundancy throughout, but otherwise the form of the network is restricted very little by the synthesis procedure. The procedure is developed in sufficient detail for application to sample networks and for implementation on a computer. A prime requisite to the synthesis procedure is a means for predicting the reliability of multiple-line redundant networks. A new technique for performing this operation is presented in this report. It is applicable to multiple line net works of almost any configuration.
