  1. $Objective function computed as in (2).
  2. #Cost expresses in equivalent number of high-fidelity EM simulations.
  3. &The algorithm failed to identify a satisfactory design, in particular, align the circuit operating frequency with the target.
  4. *Relative computational savings in percent w.r.t. the algorithm of Koziel et al.70.
