Implicit Space Mapping Applied to the Synthesis of Antenna Arrays

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel technique for efficiently combining implicit space mapping (ISM) with method of moments (MoM) for the synthesis of antenna arrays and explores several example applications of the ISM approach. The antenna arrays geometric parameters are extracted to be optimized by ISM, and a fitness function is evaluated by MoM simulations to represent the performance of each candidate design. A coarse-mesh MoM and a fine-mesh MoM solver are used for the coarse and the fine models, respectively. To achieve the parameter extraction, the auxiliary parameter is selected and the approximation between the two models is accomplished by particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results show that the running time of the ISM algorithm is 2 ∼ 3 times faster than that of other optimization algorithms (e.g., PSO).

Space Mapping Optimization of Handset Antennas Exploiting Thin-Wire Models

“…There, the coarse and fine models use coarse-and fine-mesh simulations of the same structure, respectively. The same idea is then demonstrated in [13] for antenna-array optimization. In [14], this method has been further developed, where a kriging interpolation is performed based on the coarse-mesh simulations to generate a smooth coarse model.…”
