Abstract :
In this paper, a procedure for ambiguity groups determination both in linear and non linear circuits is proposed. Such procedure, based on the a priori identifiability concept, represents an improvement with respect to previous approaches, since allows one to greatly reduce the computational complexity of the evaluation of canonical ambiguity groups. The identifiability of the circuit under test is investigated analyzing the coefficients of the Input-Output relationship.
