Simulated Annealing with Fuzzy Fitness Function for Test Frequencies Selection

This paper discusses the optimization of input source frequencies to obtain the highest detection and location rate of a circuit under test. The minimum number of frequencies for distinguishes between fault and fault free elements are desired. We briefly describe the basic concepts of simulated annealing method and fuzzy evaluation (fitness) system. Presented application shows how to code the optimization problem. It has been compared algorithm with fuzzy goal function and weighted goal function. Obtained results are attached and discussed.
