Abstract :
A new implementation of space mapping optimization and modeling procedures for microwave design is presented. We use the optimization capability of the "coarse model" simulator, Agilent ADS, to significantly reduce the computational cost of solving the parameter extraction and surrogate optimization sub-problems. This allows substantial reduction of the overall optimization time for the space mapping algorithm. Illustration examples are provided.
