An Optimized Ensemble Model for Prediction the Bandwidth of Metamaterial Antenna

Abstract

Metamaterial Antenna is a special class of antennas that uses metamaterial to enhance their performance. Antenna size affects the quality factor and the radiation loss of the antenna. Metamaterial antennas can overcome the limitation of bandwidth for small antennas. Machine learning (ML) model is recently applied to predict antenna parameters. ML can be used as an alternative approach to the trial-and-error process of finding proper parameters of the simulated antenna. The accuracy of the prediction depends mainly on the selected model. Ensemble models combine two or more base models to produce a better-enhanced model. In this paper, a weighted average ensemble model is proposed to predict the bandwidth of the Metamaterial Antenna. Two base models are used namely: Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). To calculate the weights for each model, an optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal weights of the ensemble. Dynamic Group-Based Cooperative Optimizer (DGCO) is employed to search for optimal weight for the base models. The proposed model is compared with three based models and the average ensemble model. The results show that the proposed model is better than other models and can predict antenna bandwidth efficiently.

“…However, this approach may lead to a lower performance by treating all models equally. In contrast, the weighted average ensemble assigns specific weights to each model [67], prioritizing those that showed a better performance. Nonetheless, for a comprehensive analysis, both the ensemble average and the weighted average ensemble were calculated.…”

“…Surrogates are approximate models that allow predictions and evaluations in a short time by analyzing and modelling a small amount of EM simulation data, thereby improving computational efficiency while maintaining some accuracy. Some modelling methods such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) [3][4][5], Support Vector Machines (SVM) [6,7], Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) [8][9][10], Gaussian Processes (GP) [11][12][13] and Backpropagation (BP) [14] are currently in use and can effectively solve electromagnetic problems.…”

Designing Smart Antennas Using Machine Learning Algorithms

“…An intelligent synthesis method based on SVM for antennas and smart antennas is presented in [17], where an antenna classification score of over 99% and a parameter prediction with a mean absolute percentage error of less than 6% were achieved. The ML method using an ensemble model which combines two or more models for better output is used for the prediction of the bandwidth of metamaterial antennas in [18], where the model's data are processed using DT and SVM algorithms.…”
