Resumen
The current design period for various backward wave oscillators (BWOs) is still at least several months. How to find the best structure parameters with an efficient and stable optimization method is a problem facing researchers in both scientific research and engineering work. In this paper, a non-randomized iterative optimization method is proposed. It applies orthogonal design methods to find local solutions that can provide optimal ?gradient direction? for several successive next iteration steps. An evaluation function is designed to distinguish the better ones from the local solutions in the multi-constrained optimization of such BWOs. Optimizations from different starting points are performed separately for a global optimal solution. Two BWOs at different frequency ranges are optimized using the proposed method. The validity and stability of the method are verified. It is believed that the method can provide the global optimum and shorten the design period of THz BWOs.
