Abstract
This paper presents a Memetic Evolutionary Algorithm for automated compact filter design using two-port building-blocks. In general, complex circuits are designed with suitably arranged two-port elements. The proposed representation scheme uses a proposed Positional Matrix, associating two-port building-blocks, their possible connections (cascade, serial, parallel or hybrid), and their parameters. The candidate designs are processed through suitable bidimensional evolutionary operators. The solutions are evolved using a bi-objective classification process, taking into account the performance evaluations, based on scattering parameters and size of the circuit. Promising candidate solutions are fine-tuned by a local search method. Results demonstrated that two-port compact filters are achieved, using simple microstrip building-blocks for describing the general passive microwave circuits.
