A two-tier Kriging interpolation approach is proposed to model jump tables for resistive
switches. Originally developed for mining and geostatistics, its locality of the calculation …

In this paper, an analysis of the methodologies proposed in the past years to automate the
synthesis of radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuit blocks is presented. In the light of this …

The knowledge-intensive radiofrequency circuit design and the scarce design automation
support play against the increasingly stringent time-to-market demands. Optimization …

In recent years, the application of evolutionary computation techniques to electronic circuit
design problems, ranging from digital to analog and radiofrequency circuits, has received …

This work focuses on the use of the substitution modeling techniques and their combination
with metaheuristics for the rapid optimal sizing of (not only) CMOS analog circuits. The case …

In this paper a design strategy based on bottom-up design methodologies is used in order to
systematically design a voltage controlled oscillator. The methodology uses two computer …

This paper describes the SIDe-O toolbox and the support it can provide to the radio-
frequency designer. SIDe-O is a computer-aided design toolbox developed for the design of …

In this paper, surrogate modeling techniques are applied for passive component modeling.
These techniques are exploited to develop and compare two alternative strategies for …

In this brief, we deal with the generation of the Pareto front for multi-objective analog circuit
sizing optimization. The main idea of the proposed work consists of using metamodels of the …

This chapter focuses on applying surrogate models in a low noise amplifier (LNA), which is
one of the main building blocks of modern communication circuits. In microelectronics …
