A Goal-Oriented Error Estimator for Reduced Basis Method Modeling of Microwave Devices

摘要

This letter proposes a novel a-posteriori error estimator suitable for the reduced order modeling of microwave circuits. Unlike the existing error estimators based on impedance function residuals, the new one exploits the residual error associated with the computation of the scattering matrix. The estimator can be effectively used in the Reduced Basis Method (RBM) to automatically generate reduced-order models. The results of numerical experiments show that the new error estimator predicts the errors in the computed S-parameters more accurately than the other existing approaches, and that it can be used to automate the generation of wideband reduced models.
