Abstract:

Computer-aided design is enjoying an ever increasing popularity among circuit designers for several reasons. The new generation of small, inexpensive, and efficient computers along with powerful analysis methods are among the major reasons. As electrical networks and systems are designed for ever higher frequencies where lumped elements are no longer well defined distributed models become necessary. The increasing complexity of networks, integrated circuits for example, and the usefulness of distributed elements such as transmission lines in impedance matching and the couplihg of amplifiers has led to increased interest in numerical optimization techniques.
