Low-Cost Data-Driven Surrogate Modeling of Antenna Structures by Constrained Sampling
PublicationFull-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis has become one of the major design tools for contemporary antenna structures. Although reliable, it is computationally expensive which makes automated simulation-driven antenna design (e.g., parametric optimization) difficult. This difficulty can be alleviated by utilization of fast and accurate replacement models (surrogates). Unfortunately, conventional data-driven modeling of antennas...
