Recent Advances in EM-Based Yield Estimation

Electromagnetic (EM)-based yield estimation is im- portant in microwave design due to uncertainties introduced by the manufacturing process. This paper provides an overview of recent advances in EM-based yield estimation, including polyno- mial chaos (PC)-based approaches and feature-based methods. Microwave filter examples are used to demonstrate the advan- tages of these advanced approaches.
