Abstract―An adjoint-variable approach to frequency-domain design sensitivity analysis is proposed for the optimization of high-frequency structures with full-wave electromagnetic solvers. We investigate sensitivity estimations based on a feasible perturbation technique which is versatile and requires only minor modifications of existing analysis algorithms. It extends the feasible adjoint-sensitivity technique previously applied in nonlinear microwave circuits to full-wave electromagnetic analysis. The solution to the
