The Way One Defines Specification Matters: On the Performance Criteria for Efficient Antenna Optimization in Aggregated Bi-Objective Setups

Abstract

Design of antenna structures for real-world applications is a challenging task that often involves addressing multiple design requirements at a time. Popular solution approaches to this class of problems include utilization of composite objectives. Although configuration of such functions has a significant effect on the cost and performance of the optimization, their specific structure is normally determined based on engineering experience and does not involve auxiliary investigations oriented towards adjustment of process efficiency. In this work, the effects of used functions and their composition on performance and cost of the bi-objective optimization process are investigated. The balance between the requirements is tailored to the problem at hand based on visual inspection of functional landscapes. The analyses are performed on a case study basis using a planar, multi-parameter antenna optimized for minimization of footprint and reflection within the 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz range. The numerical results show significant differences between the performance of the obtained solutions, as well as the computational cost of the optimization. The best geometry found using one of the considered objective functions is characterized by an in-band reflection of –9.6 dB and the footprint of only 171 mm2.
