Abstract:

In the field of antenna optimization design, traditional electromagnetic softwares adopt the method of sweeping with parameter, which causes the problems of large amount of calculation and low efficiency. In view of this problem, a joint optimized design based on flamingo search algorithm and HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) is proposed in this study. This method is realized through the co-simulation of MATLAB and HFSS. MATLAB generates a VBS (Visual Basic Script) script for HFSS to call by writing the code of the design and simulation about antenna in MATLAB. HFSS returns the result of electromagnetic simulation to the function about fitness calculation. The flamingo search algorithm optimizes the particle position according to the fitness value until the optimal result is found and the optimal antenna size parameters are determined. In the co-simulation design, the optimal size parameters are found after 23 iterations, so that the fitness value of the optimized antenna in the two working frequency bands is optimized from -483.37 dB to -771.15 dB. The results of simulation show that the proposed algorithm has strong optimization ability and fast speed of convergence, which significantly improves the efficiency of the design of antenna optimization.
