Broadband Electromagnetic Modeling of On-Chip Passives Using a Differential Surface Admittance Operator for 3-D Piecewise Homogeneous Structures
Accurate modeling of on-chip passive components is vital for reliable integrated circuit (IC) design. However, this is non-trivial due to
Spectral Bayesian Optimization Using a Physics-Informed Rational Szegö Kernel for Microwave Design
Microwave device design increasingly relies on surrogate modeling to accelerate optimization and reduce costly electromagnetic (EM) simulations. This paper presents
