Abstract

This chapter proposes system-, block-, and circuit-level design procedures that use computational intelligence techniques, taking into consideration the specifications for telecommunication receivers. The design process starts with selecting the proper architecture (topology) of the system, using a fuzzy expert solution. Next, at the block level, the issue of distributing the parameters across the blocks is solved using a hybrid fuzzy-genetic algorithms approach. Finally, multiobjective optimization using genetic algorithms is employed in the circuit-level design. The proposed methods were tested under specific conditions and have proved to be robust and trustworthy.
