Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for synthesizing electronic circuit models from electromagnetic analysis data are non-fully automated and iterative, often resulting in electromagnetic characteristics that only approximately match the intended results, lacking precision and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for rapidly and automatically synthesizing electronic components by apportioning electromagnetic analysis data into synthesis and non-synthesis portions, selecting candidate components based on proximity to the non-synthesis data, and configuring them to match the synthesis data, using digital logic to construct and evaluate the electronic circuit model.
