A High-Performance Transfer Learning-Based Model for Microwave Structure
Behavior Prediction
Abstract
Microwave structure behavior prediction enables the estimation of
circuit response over a frequency range, playing a crucial role in the
design of radio frequency (RF) structures. Deep neural network (DNN)
approaches have demonstrated their capability to simulate microwave
structure behaviors. Nonetheless, the quality and utility of the model
are constrained by the availability of data and computational
capabilities. These inherent disadvantages hinder the extensive
application of DNN in microwave structure behavior prediction. Transfer
learning has recently been produced as a method offering improved
accuracy and speed for predicting microwave circuit behavior. This paper
proposes a novel transfer learning-based model to expedite the
prediction process for a sequence of frequency samples. Through
experimental validation, it is illustrated that the proposed methodology
outperforms the conventional DNN techniques for microwave structure
behavior prediction by effectively reducing the required data and
shortening the training time. The proposed model also facilitates the
fine-tuning of hyperparameters and reduces the simulator computing load.
