A Broadband PA Design Based on Bayesian Optimization Augmented by Dynamic Feasible Region Shrinkage

In this letter, a new Bayesian optimization (BO) method with dynamic feasible region shrinkage (DFRS) technique for power amplifier (PA) design is proposed. As a powerful optimization tool, it provides a more effective way to optimize the performance of PA than the embedded commercial optimization tools. It also has a better convergence speed than the existing fixed mode acquisition function. Results show that the new technique provides a great optimization for PA design, not only for circuit optimization but also for electromagnetic (EM) optimization.
