Abstract

We present new results of fully automating the aggressive Space Mapping (SM) strategy for electromagnetic optimization. The generic SM update loop and the model-specific parameter extraction loop are automated using a two-level Datapipe architecture. We apply the automated SM strategy to the optimization of waveguide transformers. We introduce a multi-point parameter extraction procedure for sharpening the solution uniqueness and improving the SM convergence. We present, for the first time, automated electromagnetic optimization utilizing the commercial 3D structure simulator HFSS.
