Abstract :
Formulations on production repair and throw-away costs in microwave circuit design are presented. The traditional methods of design centering and tolerancing are extended by a mathematical formulation to incorporate the anticipated production costs. The approach provides direct physical meanings to the problem of yield optimization.<>
