Low-cost multi-criterial design optimization of compact microwave passives using constrained surrogates and dimensionality reduction

Abstract

Design of contemporary microwave circuits is a challenging task. Typically, it has to take into account several performance requirements and constraints. The design objectives are often conflicting and their simultaneous improvement may not be possible; instead, compromise solutions are to be sought. Representative examples are miniaturized microwave passives where reduction of the circuit size has a detrimental effect on its electrical characteristics. Acquiring information about the best possible design trade‐offs is invaluable for the designer, yet it entails computationally expensive multi‐objective optimization (MO). MO is typically conducted using population‐based metaheuristic algorithms, the cost of which might be extremely high. If the circuit performance is evaluated using full‐wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis, this cost is often prohibitive. A workaround is the employment of fast surrogate models, and a number of surrogate‐assisted frameworks have been proposed in the literature. Unfortunately, a construction of reliable surrogates is hindered in higher dimensional parameter spaces. The recently proposed constrained modeling mitigates this issue to a certain extent by restricting the modeling process to the region containing the Pareto front to be found. This work proposes a novel surrogate‐based MO technique that involves constrained modeling and explicit reduction of the surrogate domain dimensionality. The latter is achieved through the spectral analysis of the extreme Pareto‐optimal design set obtained by local search routines. Our methodology is validated using a 15‐parameter impedance‐matching transformer with the Pareto set identified at the cost of a few hundred EM analyses of the circuit. The numerical experiments also demonstrate a significant reduction of the optimization cost as compared to the state‐of‐the‐art surrogate‐assisted MO methods.
