Abstract
Abstract This paper addresses computationally feasible multi-objective optimization of antenna structures. We review two recent techniques that utilize the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) working with fast antenna replacement models (surrogates) constructed as Kriging interpolation of coarse-discretization electromagnetic (EM) simulation data. The initial set of Pareto-optimal designs is subsequently refined to elevate it to the high-fidelity EM simulation accuracy. In the first method, this is realized point-by-point through appropriate response correction techniques. In the second method, sparsely sampled high-fidelity simulation data is blended into the surrogate model using Co-kriging. Both methods are illustrated using two design examples: an ultra-wideband (UWB) monocone antenna and a planar Yagi-Uda antenna. Advantages and disadvantages of the methods are also discussed.
