We fuse idler hunting with hardware priors fromparametric amplifiers (ATL/TWPA): pump-locked 3WM/4WMloci, stopbands, and RPM notch/pole sentinels. The result is aunified, design-aware score that boosts precision under crowdingwithout model retraining. We define separate 3WM/4WM proximity terms with pump-referenced tolerances, apply stopbandpenalties only to unexplainable energy, add RPM bonuses nearphase-matching sentinels, and auto-tune weights (w0, w3, … Continue reading Unified Design-Informed Idler Hunting: 3WM/4WM with ATL/TWPA Priors
