A robust simulation-driven methodology for rapid and reliable design of RF/microwave circuits comprising compact microstrip resonant cells (CMRCs) is presented. We introduce a nested space mapping (NSM) technology, in which the inner space mapping layer is utilized to improve the generalization capabilities of the equivalent circuit model corresponding to a constitutive element of the circuit under consideration. The outer layer enhances the surrogate model of the entire structure under design. We demonstrate that NSM significantly improves performance of surrogate-based optimization of composite RF/microwave structures. It is validated using two examples of UWB microstrip matching transformers (MTs) and compared to other competitive surrogate-assisted methods attempting to solve the problem ofcompact RF/microwave component design.
