Abstract

Chapter 9 introduces a method for mm-wave linear amplifier design automation. The methods to analyze the problem from the computation aspect, to utilize its properties and to transform it to a problem that can be solved by the techniques introduced in Chap. 8 are discussed. Instead of introducing new computational intelligence techniques, this chapter concentrates on how to make use of the basic techniques to solve complex problems.
