An Automated Design Methodology of RF Circuits by Using Pareto-Optimal Fronts of EM-Simulated Inductors. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
A new design methodology for radiofrequency circuits is presented that includes electromagnetic (EM) simulation of the inductors into the optimization flow. This is achieved by previously generating the Pareto-optimal front (POF) of the inductors using EM simulation. Inductors are selected from the Pareto front and their ${S}$ -parameter matrix is included in the circuit netlist that is simulated using an RF simulator. Generating the EM-simulated POF of inductors is computationally expensive, but once generated, it can be used for any circuit design. The methodology is illustrated both for a single-objective and a multiobjective optimization of a low noise amplifier. |
