The problems of finding the optimal values of some numerical functions are used as examples to illustrate the performance of GAs. GAs are shown to be effective for solving these problems. In addition, various parameters of the optimization algorithm are critically selected for efficiency. Experimental results suggest that while it is possible to optimize GA control parameters, excellent performances can be obtained with an appropriately selected range of GA control parameter settings, based mainly on the experience of the users.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"6 1","pages":"819-822 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74266522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The procedure can be used for the simulation of any nonlinear microwave circuit and offers the facility of developing a multiport equivalent circuit for any linear or nonlinear device or subcircuit.

The focus is on the nonlinear harmonic-balance equations (HBEs) arising from the application of the harmonic-balance (HB) method, the approach predominantly used in nonlinear microwave computer-aided design packages. Theoretical figures of merit are used to evaluate potential numerical methods for this application. Nonconvergence mechanisms that plague present HBE solvers are identified and discussed along with other previously neglected solution issues. Five novel so-called polyalgorithms have been developed for the HB method that bypass nonconvergence scenarios and possess an increased level of numerical efficiency and reliability.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"118 1","pages":"422-428 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86759028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulations are presented to illustrate the relationships among signal characteristics, smoothing effects, and computational efficiency. It is noted that the types of estimation problems define the structure of the impulse response matrices: periodic time-invariant circulant filters estimate periodic signals; nonperiodic time-invariant Toeplitz filters estimate nonperiodic signals; and memoryless time-varying diagonal filters estimate wideband signals. The outputs obtained using Class 1 systems are in general better than those obtained using Class 2 systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"78 1","pages":"35-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86345860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
