Abstract :
The paper presents a novel approach to efficient performance modelling and optimisation which can be applied to automatic synthesis of circuit-level radio frequency (RF) analogue circuits. Support vector machines regression models are used to construct automatically general performance models for RF circuits which lend themselves naturally to pattern-search optimisation by exploring the design space. Experiments show that the approach can provide accurate and extremely fast performance estimation.
