Quasi-Global Optimization of Antenna Structures Using Principal Components and Affine Subspace-Spanned Surrogates
Abstract
Parametric optimization is a mandatory step in the design of contemporary antenna structures. Conceptual development can only provide rough initial designs that have to be further tuned, often extensively. Given the topological complexity of modern antennas, the design closure necessarily involves full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulations and—in many cases—global search procedures. Both factors make antenna optimization a computationally expensive endeavor: population-based metaheuristics, routinely used in this context, entail significant computational overhead. This letter proposes a novel approach that interleaves trust-region gradient search with iterative parameter space exploration by means of local kriging surrogate models. Dictated by efficiency, the latter are rendered in low-dimensional subspaces spanned by the principal components of the antenna response Jacobian matrix, extracted to identify the directions of the maximum (frequency-averaged) response variability. The aforementioned combination of techniques enables quasi-global search at the cost comparable to local optimization. These features are demonstrated using two antenna examples as well as benchmarking against multiple-start local tuning.
