Antenna Optimization Through Space Mapping
2007
We apply space mapping to antenna design for the first time. We exploit a coarse-mesh method of moments (MoM) solver as the coarse model and align it with the fine-mesh MoM solution through space mapping. We employ two plans: (I) implicit and output space mapping, and (II) input and output space mapping. We propose a local meshing method which avoids inconsistencies in the coarse model. The proposed techniques are implemented through our user-friendly space mapping framework (SMF) system. In a double annular ring antenna example, the S-parameter is optimized. The finite ground size effect for the MoM is efficiently solved by space mapping plan I and the design specification is satisfied after only three iterations. In a patch antenna example, we optimize the impedance using both plans in separate optimization processes. Comparisons are made. Coarseness in the coarse model and its effect on the space mapping performance are also discussed
