Application of the preference set-based design to layout of the microstrip line on board edge with RLGC meta modeling

Multi-objective optimization methods are applied to solve various issues in fields of not only mechanical engineering but also management, medicine, etc. Preference set-based design (PSD) method is one of them and has been successfully applied in the mechanical engineering field. We have discussed the utility when applying the PSD method to solve various electrical and electronics problems. In this study, the layout design problem for microstrip line (MSL) placed on a board edge to satisfy required performances is investigated. When applying the PSD method to the problem, a meta-modeling with a response surface methodology (RSM) to determine RLGC parameters of the MSL is proposed, and then the validity is discussed.
