Damping the cavity-mode anti-resonances' peaks on a power plane by swarm intelligence algorithms

Swarm intelligence is applied to a module of high speed system design problem. To maintain power integrity in a high speed system, an effective methodology for suppressing the cavity-mode anti-resonances' peaks is presented. The optimal values and the optimal positions of the decoupling capacitors are found using three different swarm intelligence methods - particle swarm optimization, cuckoo search method and firefly algorithm. Optimum values and locations of decoupling capacitors are obtained, by which anti-resonances' peaks of loaded board are minimized.
