Designing microwave components involves managing multiple objectives such as center frequencies, impedance matching, and size reduction for miniaturized structures. Traditional multi-objective optimization (MO) approaches heavily rely on computationally expensive population-based methods, especially when exe-cuted with full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis to guarantee reliability. This paper introduces a novel and cost-effective MO technique for microwave passive components utilizing a machine learning (ML) framework with artificial neural network (ANN) surrogates as the primary prediction tool. In this approach, mul-tiple candidate solutions are extracted from the Pareto set via optimization using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) applied to the current ANN model. These solutions expand the dataset of available (EM-simulated) parameter vectors and refine the surrogate model iteratively. To enhance computational effi-ciency, we employ variable-resolution EM models. Tested on two microstrip cir-cuits, our methodology competes effectively against several surrogate-based ap-proaches. The average computational cost of the algorithm is below three hundred EM analyses of the circuit, with the quality of generated Pareto sets surpassing those produced by the benchmark methods.
