Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting an electronic system in which n parameters of the system are predefined that correspond to an n-dimensional adjustment space, wherein at the start of the adjustment each parameter has two limit values predefined that delimit an appropriate initial range in the n-dimensional adjustment space, and wherein the following steps are repeated until a termination condition is achieved: evaluating a target function that quantifies the achievement of an adjustment target for the limit values that delimit the initial range, wherein the evaluation includes at least one of measurement and evaluation of at least one physical quantity of the system that depends on limit values of specific ones of said parameters, and wherein appropriate target function values associated with the limit values are obtained; and defining a modified reduced initial range for a subsequent iteration as a function of the target function values obtained, wherein the target function values are assigned to two different classes, wherein all target function values that correspond to a target criterion are assigned to a first class, wherein all target values that do not correspond to the target criterion are assigned to a second class, wherein the step of defining the modified initial range for the subsequent iteration takes place as a function of the target function values assigned to the first class; and wherein said termination condition occurs when a predefined relationship to said target function values is determined.
