Abstract :
Some 45 years of microwave CAD technology includes least pth and minimax objectives, direct search and gradient methods, and adjoint sensitivity techniques. The 1980´s saw the acceptance of commercial CAD software and yield-driven methodologies. The 1990´s introduced space mapping for design and modeling based on full-wave electromagnetic simulations. We address these and further advances in the context of today´s stringent requirements for CAD solutions.
