Today, VLSI technology has taken a fundamental role in developing most of the high-tech
electronic circuits. Even though VLSI design is renowned for its smaller size, lower cost …

In this paper, the performance boundaries and corresponding tradeoffs of a complex dual-
mode class-C/D voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) are extended using a framework for the …

In recent years there has been a growing interest in electronic design automation
methodologies for the optimization-based design of radio frequency (RF) circuits and …

A new design methodology for radiofrequency circuits is presented that includes
electromagnetic (EM) simulation of the inductors into the optimization flow. This is achieved …

In this paper, an efficient parasitic-aware geometric programming and many-objective
evolution algorithm based two-phase hybrid sizing methodology is presented. It considers …

The puzzle of automatically synthesizing analog and radio frequency (RF) circuit topology
has not yet been offered with an industrially-acceptable solution although endeavors still …

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

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 …

The design and optimization of the analog complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
(CMOS) integrated circuits (ICs) are intrinsically complicated and depend heavily on the …

Motivation of analog circuit automation tools has focused on improving the efficiency, where
solving of a highly nonlinear design problem takes considerably long time even if the …
