Modeling of passive electronic circuits with sensitivity analysis dedicated to the sizing by optimization

Abstract

The paper deals with an approach that automates the computation of frequential characteristics of passive electronic circuit and their associated sensitivities according to all the components of the circuit. This method enables the designer to focus on the physical behavior of the circuit since the modeling and computing tasks are automatically performed without any computer science skills. It is useful to size circuits with many constraints by using optimization based on gradient algorithm. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
