This paper outlines an original shape optimization library backed by a three dimensional (3D) full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulator, combining several efficient structural optimization techniques and suitable for viable computer-aided design (CAD) of complex microwave components. The microwave components are modeled by finite element method (FEM) and their dimensions and shape are optimized using four techniques: design of experiments (DOE), level-set method (LS), topology gradient (TG) method, and genetic algorithm (GA). The various methods allow determining the optimal geometry, shape or topology of 2D or 3D objects within the microwave device, by minimizing iteratively a cost function related to the desired specifications. Typical demonstration illustrates the versatility of the proposed library based on the design of a dual mode dielectric resonator filter in order to improve its unloaded quality factor by keeping the same frequency isolation, their accuracy and efficiency are verified by the available measured results.
