Abstract :
This paper introduces a new optimization method applied to negative-resistance microwave oscillators. The optimization is carried out using a Genetic Algorithm associated with the Device-line Measurement technique. The circuits are simulated using a Harmonic Balance simulator. The optimization results show that the proposed method can robustly find optimal or close-to-optimal solutions.
