Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of microwave filter optimization, and in particular to a microwave filter optimization and debugging method, equipment, and storage device based on knowledge transfer. Background Technology
[0002] Microwave filters are core frequency selection devices in microwave communication systems, capable of selecting useful signals and filtering out unwanted signals. With the vigorous promotion of "Network Power" and "Digital China," and the inclusion of 5G base station construction in my country's new infrastructure development, the market demand for microwave filters is enormous. Increased demand has led to an increase in batches; while different batches of microwave filters have the same structure, their material properties differ, resulting in significant individual differences in the material characteristics of microwave filters.
[0003] The production process of microwave filters includes three steps: design, manufacturing, and debugging. Design errors and manufacturing tolerances are difficult to avoid, and it is usually necessary to adjust the structural geometry parameters after manufacturing to change the filtering performance to meet the performance requirements. Currently, debugging mainly relies on experienced workers, but these workers have poor adaptability when dealing with microwave filters with significant individual differences, resulting in low debugging efficiency and difficulty in meeting the huge market demand.
[0004] Particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based tuning methods demonstrate excellent performance in tuning single microwave filters. However, when tuning multiple microwave filters, consistently starting from scratch results in low overall efficiency. For individual microwave filters with unique characteristics, while performance requirements may be identical, the mapping between structural geometry parameters and filtering performance differs, leading to feasible solutions for those parameters being distributed across different spatial domains. Precisely locating these different spatial domains before applying PSO can significantly improve tuning efficiency, but repeatedly locating different feasible solution spaces for structural geometry parameters from scratch each time is inefficient. The tuning process generates a large amount of data containing rich tuning knowledge, which is crucial for determining the feasible solution space for structural geometry parameters. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a knowledge transfer-based microwave filter optimization and debugging method. First, the differences in the mapping relationship between the structural geometric parameters and filtering performance of different microwave filters are analyzed. Then, a knowledge generation model is transferred based on these differences.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention provide a microwave filter optimization and debugging method, device and storage device for knowledge transfer.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a framework diagram of a microwave filter optimization and debugging method based on knowledge transfer, as described in an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes:
[0044] The debugging task for the initial microwave filter is mainly divided into three stages: establishing an initial knowledge generation model, determining the initial optimization range, and optimizing and debugging the initial microwave filter.
[0045] In the initial knowledge generation model M0 stage, the structural geometric parameters x = [x1, x2, ..., x0] of the microwave filter are first randomly changed N0 times. m ], where m is the number of structural geometric parameters, and the corresponding filtering performance I = [I1, I2, ..., I n (n is the number of filtering performance parameters), forming a dataset containing N0 samples, used to train the knowledge generation model. The model's input is the filtering performance, and the output is the structural geometric parameters. The structural geometric parameters of the microwave filter include the resonant screw length and the coupling screw length. The model's structural design and parameter training are consistent with patent ZL202110128530.4.
[0046] In the initial optimization range determination stage, a sets of filtering performance that meet the performance index requirements are sequentially input into the initial knowledge generation model M0 to obtain the corresponding a sets of predicted structural geometric parameters. Let represent the value of the m-th structural geometric parameter in the predicted solution of the a-th group of structural geometric parameters. Based on the predicted solutions of multiple groups of structural geometric parameters, determine the initial optimization range of the initial microwave filter. The method of determination is

[0049] During the initial microwave filter optimization and debugging stage, within the initial optimization range θ0, the particle swarm optimization method in patent ZL201811627292.6 is used to optimize and obtain a feasible solution of structural geometric parameters that makes the filtering performance of the initial microwave filter meet the requirements, and the initial microwave filter is debugged based on the feasible solution.
[0050] After completing the initial microwave filter debugging, the debugging tasks for other microwave filters are divided into five parts: difference assessment, determination of migration strength, establishment of a knowledge generation model, determination of optimization range, and optimization debugging. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the debugging task for the t-th microwave filter (t is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1) (microwave filters have the same structure but different material properties) is mainly divided into five stages: difference assessment, determination of migration intensity, establishment of knowledge generation model, determination of optimization range, and optimization debugging.
[0051] First, a difference assessment is performed. Within the initial optimization range θ0, N is calculated for the t-th microwave filter and the initial microwave filter, respectively. c Comparison points were collected at the same locations. Based on t*N of the t-group tasks... c Calculate the mean of the filtering performance for each of the n points. and standard deviation For example, when the third microwave filter is tuned, there are 3 sets of tasks, 3N. c Based on the calculated mean and standard deviation, the performance metrics of the initial microwave filter and the t-th microwave filter are normalized to: and The formula for normalization is:
[0052]
[0053] Then, the difference d between the t-th microwave filter and the initial microwave filter is calculated. t The calculation formula is:
[0054]
[0055] Where, N c This indicates the number of sampling points on the filter. This represents the normalized value of the first index of the initial microwave filter. This represents the normalized value of the first index of the t-th microwave filter. I represents the normalized value of the nth index of the t-th microwave filter. n This represents the nth indicator. This represents the t*N data collected. c The mean of the nth index among n points (each point includes the structural geometric parameter x and the corresponding filtering performance I), This represents the t*N data collected. c The standard deviation of the nth indicator among points, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.
[0056] In the stage of determining migration intensity, the migration intensity is based on the degree of difference d. t The calculation is obtained. The calculation formula is:
[0057]
[0058] in, Let r represent the migration strength of the t-th microwave filter, r() represents rounding up to the nearest integer; η is a confidence factor, set through human experience.
[0059] Then, in the stage of establishing the knowledge generation model for the t-th microwave filter, N samples are first collected on the t-th microwave filter. t Based on the sample data, and according to the method in patent ZL202110130442.8, using N... t Fine-tuning the initial knowledge generation model M0 with sample data yields the knowledge generation model M0 for the t-th microwave filter. t .
[0060] In the optimization range determination phase, the same method as in the initial microwave filter debugging task is adopted, utilizing the knowledge generation model M. t The optimization range θ of the t-th microwave filter is determined based on its output. t ,Right now:
[0061] To the knowledge generation model M t By sequentially inputting the filtering performance of group a that meets the performance index requirements, the corresponding predicted solutions for the structural geometric parameters of group a are obtained. Let represent the value of the m-th structural geometric parameter in the predicted solution of the a-th group of structural geometric parameters. Based on the predicted solutions of multiple groups of structural geometric parameters, determine the optimization range of the t-th microwave filter. The method of determination is
[0062]
[0063] in, Representation matrix The data in the qth column.
[0064] During the optimization and debugging phase, the knowledge generation model M was obtained. t Then, within the optimization range θ t Within this framework, the method employs two phases—"determining the initial optimization range" and "optimizing and debugging the initial microwave filter"—in the initial microwave filter debugging task to efficiently complete the debugging task of the t-th microwave filter.
[0065] In this embodiment, a simulation and debugging platform was built based on the three-dimensional electromagnetic software HFSS and MATLAB. Three microwave filter simulation models with material dielectric constants of 35.5, 35.7, and 36.0 were established in HFSS, as shown below. Figure 2As shown. Each microwave filter simulation model has a total of 6 structural geometric parameters (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The light gray areas represent the cylindrical holes, while the dark gray areas represent the metal layer added beneath the two bottommost cylindrical holes. Figure 2 It is known that each microwave filter simulation model has two rows of cylindrical holes, with three holes in each row. However, since the dielectric filter simulation model has a symmetrical structure, it is only necessary to calculate the structural geometric parameters x = [x1, x2, x3] of one row of three holes, and the depth of the other row of three holes can be directly assigned according to the obtained values. The filtering performance includes the center frequency ω. c The bandwidth W and return loss target ψ, i.e., I1 is the center frequency, I2 is the bandwidth, and I3 is the return loss in the filtering performance, are used in this implementation. c =2.610GHz, W=0.193GHz and ψ=-20dB, the permissible errors for center frequency and bandwidth are respectively δ w =0.005GHz, trust factor η=0.01.
[0066] Using a dielectric filter with a dielectric constant of 35.5 as the initial microwave filter, its debugging task is τ. 1 The debugging task for a dielectric filter with a dielectric constant of 35.7 is τ. 2 The debugging task for a dielectric filter with a dielectric constant of 36.0 is τ. 3 Four data points were collected to calculate the degree of difference. The results are shown in the table below:
[0067] Table 13 shows the calculation results of the difference in microwave filters.

[0072] In task τ 1 In the process, the knowledge generation model M1 was established using 200 samples. Finally, after three iterations, the particle swarm optimization algorithm found a feasible solution for the structural geometric parameters and completed the debugging task.
[0073] In task τ 2In this study, based on the method for determining the transfer intensity, a knowledge generation model M2 was established using six samples. Finally, after five iterations, the particle swarm optimization algorithm found a feasible solution for the structural geometric parameters, completing the debugging task and demonstrating that transferred knowledge can improve debugging efficiency. The debugging process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

The debugging process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown; this result is greater than 5 iterations when debugging with M2, indicating that the accuracy of the transferred knowledge is insufficient. Debugging with M3 requires 2 iterations, and the debugging process is as follows: Figure 5 As shown; this result is also smaller than that using M3. ’ The effectiveness of the difference assessment and migration strength determination method was demonstrated by 8 trials and 5 trials using M2 debugging.
