Multicriteria optimization of a four-layer reflection-symmetric modal filter parameters for ESD protection

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the results of a quasi-static analysis of a four-layer reflection-symmetric modal filter (MF) in the time domain. The authors analyzed its effectiveness in protecting electronic equipment against electrostatic discharge (ESD). The work presents the results of a genetic algorithm optimization of the geometric parameters of the structure under study. The results show that the investigated MF with optimal parameters can suppress the ESD peak emission at a shorter length.
