printed circuit board (PCB)‚ a schematic is needed to provide input (a netlist) to the layout and routing tool (Varteresian‚ 2002)[1]. In other words‚ the capture of a schematic diagram is a convention to PCB‚ subsequent construction and testing. The design of PCBs is very widely used in electronic equipment and systems‚ for example‚ good EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) practices. These PCB-level EMC practices usually help achieve the required EMC performance at a much lower cost than alternative

attention on unweighted and undirected networks here. A complex network is represented by G(V‚E) where V is the vertex set and E is the edge set. Each node v(v∈V) has a label C(v) and N(v) is the set of neighbors of node . The label propagation algorithm (LPA) first initializes every node with a unique label. Then at every step each node updates its current label to the label shared by the maximum number of its neighbors. The formula is as follows [14]: C(v)=arg〖■(max@l)|N^l (v)|〗 (1) Where 〖 N〗^l
