These and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools are in the news and help us complete tasks faster than ever. The press coverage on the future of AI technologies is ample and both positive and negative; however presented, though, these technologies are here to stay. These AI tools are a paradigm shift in the way we perform our day-to-day activities, and this includes their place in the publication space. I have had many conversations with colleagues over the last year where concern has been expressed about the impact AI tools will have on publications’ integrity.","PeriodicalId":55023,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Microwave Magazine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141548092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Achieving the desired specifications in terms of S-parameters over different frequency bands is one of the critical steps in the microwave circuit and system design and development process <xref ref-type=\"bibr\" r xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\">[1]</xref>\u0000. An optimal design can be accomplished by using an optimization algorithm. Such an optimizer is set to iteratively find the optimized design with respect to predefined specifications starting from an initial design stage by invoking an EM simulator each time for evaluating the design evolution and optimization feasibility. This iterative approach takes an exceptionally long time, as many EM simulations are generally required for different sets of combinatory geometrical parameters during the optimization process <xref ref-type=\"bibr\" r xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\">[2]</xref>\u0000.","PeriodicalId":55023,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Microwave Magazine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141548095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
