Figure 7 shows that, in all of the networks with different radixes of 32, 64, and 128, the PV powers decrease more than 60% when there are 16 redundant rings in all of the networks.
The redundant rings have no impact on the SNR in all radixes of the network, while the power loss increases with the redundant rings.
