Abstract

This paper reviews two exciting concepts: electronic device modeling through artificial neural network technology and circuit optimization exploiting space mapping in the design parameter space. They should play important roles in the next generation engineering optimization methodologies. We elaborate on knowledge based neural network structures for enhanced modeling and aggressive space mapping for efficient electromagnetic optimization.
