This paper presents an automated design procedure of radio- frequency integrated CMOS discrete tuning varactors (RFDTVs).

The fitness function used in the search tool is proportional to the RFDTV quality factor. The outcome of the automated design method comprises a set of RFDTV circuits, all having the same maximum performance.
