Design and Manufacture of a Multiband Rectangular Spiral-Shaped Microstrip Antenna Using EM-Driven and Machine Learning

Abstract

This paper presents a multiband rectangular microstrip antenna using spiral-shaped configurations. The antenna has been designed by combining two configurations of microstrip and spiral with consideration of careful selection of the substrate material, the dimension of the rectangular microstrip, the distance between the turned spiral, and the number of turns of the spiral. The efficiency and accuracy have been improved using machine learning algorithms as well. Machine learning has been studied to model the proposed antenna based on the performance requirements, which requires a sufficient training data to improve the accuracy. Three different machine learning models are applied to improve the accuracy and generalization performance and compared to simulation and measurement results. Simulation, measurement, and machine learning results confirm that the proposed antenna is a new electrically small and operating over a wide range of high-frequency bands between 1 GHz–4 GHz. Machine learning models have the best prediction ability with a mean square error (MSE) of 0.03, and 0.05. The antenna structure and size are compatible and suitable for several multi-band wireless mobile systems operating in L-band and S-band. The results, such as directivity, Half-Power Beamwidth, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), and S-parameter curves, are analysed and compared with the numerical formulation for both spiral and microstrip antennas.

Application of Machine Learning in Electromagnetics: Mini-Review

“…For the combination of linear and non-linear natures of geometrical parameters and design specifications of antennae, deep CNN was used for the fast and accurate design of the antenna [66]. In an earlier study [67], modeling multiband antennae using three ML algorithms with increased accuracy and performance was reported. Kazemian et al [68] described a directional antenna design scheme using multi-objective GA to reduce the number of the antenna side lobes and lobe levels, which eventually aids directivity and security in wireless communication.…”

A New Machine Vision Method for Target Detection and Localization of Malleable Iron Pipes: An Experimental Case

“…At present, the process of processing of malleable steel pipe fitting is completed by manual operation, which has high labor intensity, low work efficiency, and security risks. In recent years, the development of vision technology and artificial intelligence has caused industrial robots to constantly improve and replace manual labor gradually, especially in dangerous environments The progress of science and technology improves the efficiency of the production of enterprises and plays an important role in the transformation and upgrading of enterprises [1].…”
