Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the original S-parameter optimization problem into a new optimization problem by applying parameter transformation. Specifically, it uses the transformation f'(x) = 1/f(x) where f(x) is the original S-parameter and f'(x) is the transformed parameter. This parameter transformation changes the characteristics of the object function, making the minimum point search more accurate and improving the overall optimization effect.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent calculates the derivative of the transformed object function to determine the gradient direction. By computing the derivative f''(x) and analyzing its sign, the method identifies the descending direction of the transformed function, which corresponds to the ascending direction of the original S-parameter. This derivative-based approach enables precise location of the minimum point with higher accuracy than traditional methods.
