Rayas-Sánchez, “Expanded space mapping EM based design framework exploiting preassigned parameters,” IEEE Trans. Circuits Sys. I, vol. 49, pp. 1833-1838, Dec. 2002.1057-7122http://hdl.handle.net/11117/609We present a novel design framework for microwave circuits. We calibrate coarse models (circuit based models) to align with fine models (full-wave electromagnetic simulations) by allowing some preassigned parameters (which are not used in optimization) to change in some components of the coarse model. Our expanded space-mapping design-framework (ESMDF) algorithm establishes a sparse mapping from optimizable to preassigned parameters. We illustrate our approach through two microstrip design examples.engDesign AutomationMicrostrip FiltersMicrowave CircuitsOptimization MethodsPreassigned ParametersSpace MappingElectromagnetic Based Optimizationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article
