“…This makes it challenging to accurately determine the coupling effect. Although some methods attempt to estimate different scenarios using small‐scale subarrays, 21,22 these approaches reduce the design flexibility of the sparse array. The objective function in Equation () represents an NP‐hard problem. Since the initial array is typically densely arranged to search for accurate sparse solutions, the search space becomes large.…”

The concept of sparse array synthesis has attracted considerable attention due to its potential to reduce hardware costs in array design and enhance the efficiency of array aperture utilization. In contrast to conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs), a more efficient encoder–decoding ANN framework is proposed in this letter for designing sparse linear arrays. The decoder is pretrained with a randomly generated training set, enabling its ability to rapidly predictiction of far‐field patterns. This process considers the actual coupling effect among the antenna elements. The output of the encoder is used as the input of the decoder to synthesize the sparse arrays by providing the desired pattern to the encoder. During the training process, a novel ‐norm minimization nonconvex optimization method is integrated into the proposed framework to reduce the number of activated elements. The effectiveness and efficiency of the method are demonstrated through numerical and full‐wave simulations for synthesizing various linear sparse arrays, including large‐scale arrays. In comparison to existing algorithms, our proposed method exhibits superior computational efficiency and predicted accuracy with fewer elements.

In this paper, a feature selection method for determining input parameters in antenna modeling is proposed. In antenna modeling, the input feature of artificial neural network (ANN) is geometric parameters. The selection criteria contain correlation and sensitivity between the geometric parameter and the electromagnetic (EM) response. Maximal information coefficient (MIC), an exploratory data mining tool, is introduced to evaluate both linear and nonlinear correlations. The EM response range is utilized to evaluate the sensitivity. The wide response range corresponding to varying values of a parameter implies the parameter is highly sensitive and the narrow response range suggests the parameter is insensitive. Only the parameter which is highly correlative and sensitive is selected as the input of ANN, and the sampling space of the model is highly reduced. The modeling of a wideband and circularly polarized antenna is studied as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The number of input parameters decreases from 8 to 4. The testing errors of |S 11 | and axis ratio are reduced by 8.74% and 8.95%, respectively, compared with the ANN with no feature selection.
