Summary: 
SUMPLE, one of important signal combining approaches, its combining loss increases when a sensor in an array fails. A novel failure detection circuit for SUMPLE is proposed by using variability index. This circuit can effectively judge whether a sensor fails or not. Simulation results validate its effectiveness with respect to the existing algorithms.
