Abstract :
A methodology for rapid design of RF circuits constituted by compact microstrip resonant-cells (CMRCs) is presented. Our approach exploits nested space mapping (NSM) technology, where the inner SM layer is used to correct the equivalent circuit model at the CMRC level, whereas the outer layer enhances the coarse model of the entire structure under design. We demonstrate that NSM dramatically improves performance of surrogate-based optimization of composite CMRC-based structures. It is validated using four examples of UWB microstrip matching transformers (MTs) and compared to previous attempts to surrogate-based compact structure design.
