Abstract :
We present an efficient method for the optimal design of spiral inductors used in RF circuits. The optimization process exploits the EM simulator Sonnet em and space mapping (SM) technology. A straightforward geometric programming formulation of the spiral inductor optimization is implemented in the surrogate model optimization. An EM-validated optimal spiral inductor design emerges in ten minutes
