At low-frequency band, the incident energy is diffused to various directions, resulting in 10 dB RCSR over 2.52-11.68 GHz with a 129% fractional bandwidth. Besides, there is a highly efficient transmission band (insertion loss < 0.595 dB) over 16.53-19.83 GHz.

In SSM, insufficient training samples can cause some problems such as the low convergence speed and serious noise interference. In order to solve these problems, we propose to use coefficient vectors with increasing dimension in iterations and then to introduce the dimension reduction (or pruning) technique to ensure the priority selections of important coefficients in training. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve better normalized mean square error (NMSE) and adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) with faster convergence speed compared with SSM.","PeriodicalId":260591,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122687892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it takes excessively long time to develope deep neural networks (DNNs) used for microwave component parametric modeling, which reduces its practicality. This paper proposes a new technique to speed up the process of developing such DNNs. Batch normalization (BN) technique is proposed to improve the convergence of the sigmoid networks and effectively alleviate the gradient vanishing problem. We use the BN layers alternately with the sigmoid layers instead of the pure sigmoid network. Furthermore, we propose to adopt the leaky ReLU (L·ReLU) to solve the neuron death problem, which can reduce the computation and training time by 52.0% and 69.7% respectively.
