A single-layer neural network architecture is adopted in PIELM, where the input layer parameters are initialized randomly. By embedding physics-informed constraints into the loss function, a system matrix equation can be established. Then, the output layer weights can be learned with the Moore–Penrose generalized inverse algorithm. Compared with physics-informed neural network (PINN), PIELM only uses a single-layer feedforward neural network and does not engage in an iterative optimization process utilizing backpropagation and gradient descent algorithms. As a result, the time spent on model training is reduced significantly, with the total process accelerated. Some numerical examples are presented to validate both accuracy and efficiency of PIELM method compared with PINN method in solving the eigenmode field distribution problem of waveguides and transmission lines.","PeriodicalId":54944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/mmce/6233356","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design is aimed at using the block upconverter (BUC) of the Ku-band satellite communication system. The PD has been developed to operate in the frequency range of 13.75–14.5 GHz for low-loss, good isolation, and good amplitude and phase imbalances for both power dividing and combining. To increase the isolation between output ports, TE102 mode is selected to operate in the main cavity while the coupled cavity operates in the TE101 mode. Low insertion loss of the PD can be achievable by determining Q factor of the SIW cavities. In addition, good phase and amplitude imbalances can also be obtained by making a suitable arrangement of the input and output ports. The measured results at the center frequency of 14.12 GHz exhibit an insertion loss of 1.3 dB, return loss of 16.9 dB, isolation of 16 dB, amplitude imbalance of 1.2 dB, and phase imbalance of 2.8°. The simulations are consistent with the measurements, validating the accuracy of the proposed method.

The configuration of the decoupling element is determined by using an optimization algorithm. The algorithm takes nine physical dimensions of the decoupling element as input and adjusts them by minimizing a cost function. One of these decision variables (DVs) is the number of decoupling element’s stairs (steps), which is a discrete parameter. In its simple form, the antenna cannot obtain proper isolation in the low-frequency band, which has been solved by employing a decoupling structure in the middle of the antenna. The experimental results show that the antenna has impedance bandwidths of 1.95–3.50 GHz and 3.98–5.67 GHz, providing minimum isolation of 13.1 and 19.5 dB in the low- and high-frequency bands, respectively. The ECC value is lower than 0.0038, and the peak gains are equal to 4.4 and 5.21 dB for the low- and high-frequency bands. The main contribution of this work is the design of the decoupling element, which, considering the antenna’s characteristics, has improved the antenna’s isolation by 12.4 dB only in the center of the low-frequency band.","PeriodicalId":54944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/mmce/6465774","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design integrates an open-edge slot antenna for the lower frequency band (5.15–7.1 GHz) with a 1 × 2 MIMO metasurface antenna for the mmWave frequency range (24.5–29.5 GHz), resulting in a high-performance, compact dual-band solution. The slot antenna is optimized for a reduced size configuration with enhanced bandwidth for lower frequencies, while the metasurface antenna delivers wider bandwidth and stable performance in the mmWave range with minimal mutual coupling and high efficiency. This makes the overall design highly effective for modern compact dual-band applications. The dual-band antenna module has dimensions of 20 × 16.5 × 0.99 mm (0.39λ0 × 0.32λ0 × 0.01λ0, where λ0 represents the free-space wavelength at 5.85 GHz). It achieves a measured peak gain of 3.8 dB for the lower band and 8.81 dB for the mmWave band. Additionally, the output of the mmWave antennas can be combined for higher gain or used in a MIMO configuration, enhancing channel capacity and communication reliability, which are critical for modern wireless systems.","PeriodicalId":54944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/mmce/7326700","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces and compares two nonoverlapping DDMs serving as preconditioners with outstanding simulation efficiency. The first method targets finite periodic array antennas by transforming a single array unit rather than explicitly modeling the entire array, effectively leveraging repetitive structures to significantly reduce memory usage and computation time. The second method applies to universal array antennas with arbitrary geometries, employing both planar and nonplanar mesh-based domain partitioning at subdomain interfaces for flexible modeling of complex arrays. To further enhance computational performance, we propose a parallel multilevel preconditioner based on the block Jacobi preconditioner, thereby accelerating the solution efficiency of subdomain matrix equations in both methods. Additionally, since the choice of domain partitioning method significantly impacts the computational efficiency of DDMs, we propose three different subdomain partitioning strategies. These strategies enable us to accelerate computations while expanding our capacity to simulate a wider variety of types of cases. We developed a fast electromagnetic radiation simulation tool utilizing these techniques. Simulations of exponentially tapered slot (Vivaldi) antenna arrays and antenna arrays with radomes demonstrate that our tool achieves accuracy comparable to commercial software, and notably, our tool outperforms commercial software in terms of the speed of iterative solutions.","PeriodicalId":54944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/mmce/5999155","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143113473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a novel dataset selection method aimed at enhancing the performance of the constructed surrogate model. Additionally, based on Bayesian neural network (BNN) and leveraging the advantages of handling sequence data with long short-term memory (LSTM), a BNN-LSTM surrogate model is introduced. After training, this surrogate model is used as the fitness evaluation function, enabling optimization design based on differential evolution (DE) algorithm.
