Dual Band Antenna Design and Prediction of Resonance Frequency Using Machine Learning Approaches

Abstract

An inset fed-microstrip patch antenna (MPA) with a partial ground structure is constructed and evaluated in this paper. This article covers how to evaluate the performance of the designed antenna by using a combination of simulation, measurement, creation of the RLC equivalent circuit model, and the implementation of machine learning approaches. The MPA’s measured frequency range is 7.9–14.6 GHz, while its simulated frequency range is 8.35–14.25 GHz in CST microwave studio (CST MWS) 2018. The measured and simulated bandwidths are 6.7 GHz and 5.9 GHz, respectively. The antenna substrate is composed of FR-4 Epoxy, which has a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a loss tangent of 0.02. The equivalent model of the proposed MPA is developed by using an advanced design system (ADS) to compare the resonance frequencies obtained by using CST. In addition, the measured return loss of the prototype is compared with the simulated return loss observed by using CST and ADS. At the end, 86 data samples are gathered through the simulation by using CST MWS, and seven machine learning (ML) approaches, such as convolutional neural network (CNN), linear regression (LR), random forest regression (RFR), decision tree regression (DTR), lasso regression, ridge regression, and extreme gradient boosting (XGB) regression, are applied to estimate the resonant frequency of the patch antenna. The performance of the seven ML models is evaluated based on mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and variance score. Among the seven ML models, the prediction result of DTR (MSE = 0.71%, MAE = 5.63%, RMSE = 8.42%, and var score = 99.68%) is superior to other ML models. In conclusion, the proposed antenna is a strong contender for operating at the entire X-band and lower portion of the Ku-band frequencies, as evidenced by the simulation results through CST and ADS, it measured and predicted results using machine learning approaches.

Machine Learning-Based Approach for bandwidth and frequency Prediction for N77 band 5G Antenna

“…According to the maximum power transfer theorem, an adequately matched network must feature load impedance (Z L ) equal to input port impedance (R I ). The antenna feeding circuit features 50 Ω impudence, and the antenna's return loss of less than −10dB ensures that more than 90% of input power is transmitted [31]. Two directors of the antenna are denoted by the letters L4, C4 and L6, C6.…”
