Fast EM-driven nature-inspired optimization of antenna input characteristics using response features and variable-resolution simulation models

Abstract Utilization of optimization technique is a must in the design of contemporary antenna systems.Often, global search methods are necessary, which are associated with high computational costs when conducted at the level of full-wave electromagnetic (EM) models.In this study, we introduce an innovative method for globally optimizing reflection
