“…In addition, we demonstrated the potential of our neural network for designing the grid ground plane by comparing it with a traditional 3D field solver. This confirms the effectiveness of neural networks in electromagnetic modeling and parameter prediction, as previously shown in other studies [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Given its predictive capability, the model represents a powerful tool for system-level simulation and optimization, eliminating the need for tedious and repetitive simulation processes and saving significant time and computational resources.…”

“…ML models have high simulation speeds and do not need to fully understand the internal structure of modeling objects. Thus, S-parameter modeling technology based on ANNs has attracted increasing attention, and preliminary feasibility studies have been recently carried out [33][34][35][36]. While both SVMs and ANNs demonstrate efficacy in fitting, they have yet to be extensively applied in grid ground plane design parameters.…”

InGaAs detection systems have been increasingly used in the aerospace field, and due to the high signal-to-noise ratio requirements of short-wave infrared quantitative payloads, there is an urgent need for methods for the rapid and precise evaluation and the optimal design of these systems. The rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) is a vital component of InGaAs detectors, as its grid ground plane design parameters impact parasitic capacitance and thus affect weak infrared analog signals. To address the time-intensive and costly nature of design optimization achieved with simulations and experimental measurements, we propose an innovative method based on a neural network to predict the scattering parameters of rigid-flex boards for InGaAs detection links. This is the first study in which the effects of rigid-flex boards on weak infrared detection signals have been considered. We first obtained sufficient samples with software simulation. A backpropagation (BP) neural network prediction model was trained on existing sample sets and then verified on a rigid-flex board used in a crucial aerospace short-wave infrared quantitative mission. The model efficiently and accurately predicted high-speed interconnect scattering parameters under various rigid-flex board grid plane parameter conditions. The prediction error was less than 1% compared with a 3D field solver, indicating an overcoming of the iterative optimization inefficiency and showing improved design quality for InGaAs detection circuits.

“…In recent years, several machine learning techniques, such as artificial neural networks (ANN) [7], [8], [9] or support vector machines (SVM) [10] have shown improved accuracy in interconnects macromodeling, especially for a large number of ports and design parameters. However, while ANNs are able to model high-dimensional and nonlinear functions, they require a high amount of training data and they tend to overfit.…”

This work presents a machine learning technique to model wide-band scattering parameters (S-parameters) of interconnects in the frequency domain using a new Gaussian processes (GP) model. Standard GPs with a general-purpose kernel typically assume high smoothness and therefore are not suitable to model S-parameters that are highly dynamic and oscillating due to propagation delays. The new delayed Gaussian process (τ GP) model employs a physics-informed kernel consisting of periodic components, whose fundamental frequencies are interpreted as tunable propagation delays. Then, the model hyperparameters are tuned using a combination of maximum marginal likelihood estimation (MMLE) and delay estimation using Gabor transform. The delay estimation allows one to automatically identify the optimal fundamental frequencies for the kernel, thus increasing the numerical stability of the hyperparameters tuning process. The resulting delayed Gaussian process model accurately predicts the S-parameter values at desired frequency points in the training interval. Two application examples demonstrate the increased accuracy of the new technique, compared to standard Gaussian processes, vector fitting (VF), and delayed vector fitting (DVF) rational models.
