dc.description.abstract | <p> This thesis contributes to the computer-aided design (CAD) of spiral inductors and LC resonators with spiral inductors exploiting full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis.</p> <p> The spiral inductor is widely used in radio frequency integrated circuits (RF ICs), such as low noise amplifiers (LNA) and voltage controlled oscillators (VCO). The design of spiral inductors has a direct influence on the performance of these circuits. Recently proposed optimization methods for spiral inductors are usually based on circuit models, which are computationally efficient but inaccurate compared with full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulations.</p> <p> For the first time, we develop an optimization technique for the design of spiral inductors and LC resonators exploiting both the computational efficiency of a (cheap) circuit model and the accuracy of a full-wave EM analysis, based on geometric programming (GP) and space mapping (SM). With the new technique, we can efficiently obtain EM-validated designs with considerable improvement over those obtained with traditional optimization methods.</p> | en_US |
