Abstract

Powerful multilevel multidimensional quadratic modeling has been developed for efficient yield-driven design. This approach makes it possible to perform direct yield optimization of circuits with microstrip structures simulated by an electromagnetic simulator. This approach is particularly useful for circuits containing complex subcircuits or components whose simulation requires significant computational effort. The efficiency and accuracy of this technique are demonstrated by yield optimization of a small-signal amplifier.<>
