Title
An inductor modeling and optimization toolbox for RF circuit design.
Abstract
This paper describes the SIDe-O toolbox and the support it can provide to the radio-frequency designer. SIDe-O is a computer-aided design toolbox developed for the design of integrated inductors based on surrogate modeling techniques and the usage of evolutionary optimization algorithms. The models used feature less than 1% error when compared to electromagnetic simulations while reducing the simulation time by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the tool allows the creation of S-parameter files that accurately describe the behavior of inductors for a given range of frequencies, which can later be used in SPICE-like simulations for circuit design in commercial environments. This toolbox provides a solution to the problem of accurately and efficiently optimizing inductors, which alleviates the bottleneck that these devices represent in the radio-frequency circuit design process.
