A Robustness Study Of Metaheuristics To The Optimal Design Of Rf Integrated Inductors

In this paper, three metaheuristics are investigated to optimize RF Integrated Inductors; namely Differential Evolution (DE) from the field of evolutionary computation, Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) based on the law of gravity and mass interactions and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) inspired by swarm behaviors in nature. A particular interest is given to the optimization of RF Integrated Inductors. Performances in terms of optimum quality and computing time of the metaheuristics are checked via three test functions and one application that consist of optimizing performances of characterize integrated inductors based on the double pi-model.
