Kriging metamodels and design re‐utilization for fast parameter tuning of antenna structures

The paper addresses the problem of computationally efficient electromagnetic (EM)‐driven design closure of antenna structures. The foundations of the presented approach are fast kriging interpolation metamodels, utilized for two purposes: (a) producing a good starting point for further parameter tuning, and (b) yielding a reasonable Jacobian matrix estimate to jump‐start the optimization procedure. The models are rendered using available designs, for example, obtained from the previous design work with the same antenna structure. The low cost of design closure is ensured by employing Broyden‐based trust‐region gradient search along with the aforementioned Jacobian initialization. Our methodology is demonstrated using two planar antennas, a dual‐band uniplanar dipole and a quasi‐Yagi with a parabolic reflector, both optimized within wide ranges of operating conditions (center frequencies, the dielectric permittivity of the antenna substrate). The re‐design process requires only a handful of EM analyses of the respective structure. The presented framework can be viewed as a convenient algorithmic tool that capitalizes on the existing information on the structure at hand to enable warm‐start parameter tuning.
