Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electromagnetic waves, in particular to a far-field prediction method based on neural network near-field phase reconstruction. BACKGROUND

[0002] Near-far field conversion is an important part of antenna testing, and its core is to reconstruct the far-field information of the antenna under test (AUT) through near-field measurement data. As electronic systems become more and more complex, the full-wave method has been unable to meet the needs of electromagnetic compatibility modeling due to the huge consumption of computing resources. In the past few decades, the theory of building equivalent radiation sources has developed rapidly. Among them, the equivalent dipole theory is widely used in the construction of equivalent sources. Generally, the establishment of equivalent sources requires both the amplitude and phase information of the near-field. However, in actual testing, it is difficult or even impossible to accurately obtain the phase information of the near-field. On this basis, the method of near-field phase recovery and reconstruction of equivalent sources from non-phase near-field is proposed. There are mainly two ideas, one is to make redundant measurements, such as measuring the field amplitude information of multiple near-field scanning surfaces; the second is to use optimization algorithms to minimize the error by iteratively equivalent dipoles or near-field phases. However, both of these methods have their own shortcomings, redundant measurements require more hardware resources, and it is difficult to ensure implementation under certain measurement conditions; optimization algorithms have high requirements for computer computing power, and timeliness is difficult to guarantee.

[0051] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, a far-field prediction method based on near-field phase reconstruction using neural networks includes the following steps:

[0053] S1. Perform near-field simulation on the antenna under test to obtain the near-field amplitude and phase data of the antenna under test, and construct a dataset, dividing the dataset into a training set and a validation set;

[0054] The AUT uses a conical horn antenna, and FEKO is used for near-field simulation. The geometry of the conical horn antenna is frequency-dependent, with an aperture radius of 1.2λ. A total of 800 antenna samples were simulated by sampling at equal intervals from 1.5 to 2.4 GHz, obtaining its near-field amplitude and phase data. The near-field sampling surface is a sphere with a radius of 0.6 m, with 20×20 sampling points equally spaced between 1–179° and 0–342°, i.e., m = 400. The near-field amplitude of the horn antenna in the dataset includes |E|. r |,|E θ |, Three components, phase data φ includes φ r ,φ θ , Three components.

[0055] The specific operating steps are as follows:

[0056] In CADFEKO, find the Horn-conical antenna in the components library, set the operating frequency to 1.5GHz, and obtain the model of the horn-conical antenna.

[0057] A near-field sampling surface with a radius of 0.6m and a quantity of 20×20 was set up, within the range of θ from 1 to 179°. Values ​​are taken at equal intervals between 0 and 342°;

[0058] To construct a dataset that meets the required frequency band, the operating frequency of the horn antenna needs to be scanned, with a scanning range of 1.5–2.4 GHz. The sampling method is equidistant sampling. In the software interface, under "parameter sweep: create models," the operating frequency of the conical horn antenna is selected as the scanning parameter. Before calculating the antenna's near field, FEKO first creates CAD models of 800 horn antennas at different frequencies. During the scanning process, the antenna's CAD model automatically changes accordingly with each frequency step, and then the near field simulation is completed for these 800 antenna samples sequentially. After the near field simulation calculation is completed, the near field amplitude |E| of each horn antenna is calculated. r |,|E θ |, and near-field phase φ r ,φ θ , The file will be saved to the folder where the CAD model is stored, with the file suffix.out. The near-field amplitude and phase data of 400 sampling points are extracted from the.out file in the file directory through a Python script, and the dataset is constructed. Since the near-field amplitude and phase both contain three components, the final dataset structure is the near-field amplitude of the horn antenna, with dimensions (800, 400x3), and the label is the near-field phase, also with dimensions (800, 400x3). Then, the 800 samples are divided into training and validation sets in a ratio of 8:2.

[0059] S2. Construct a neural network for predicting the near-field phase from the near-field amplitude, and train the neural network with the training set to fit the relationship between the near-field amplitude and the near-field phase. Validate the trained neural network with the validation set, and obtain the trained neural network after validation.

[0060] Neural Networks is a computational model inspired by the biological nervous system, which simulates the connection and signal transmission of brain neurons to handle complex nonlinear relationships. It has been widely applied in various fields.

[0061] (1) Structure of Neural Networks

[0062] Neural Networks is usually composed of multiple layers, each containing several neurons (nodes). These layers can be divided into three categories.

[0063] ① Input layer (Input layer): receives raw data input, and each neuron represents an input feature;

[0064] ② Hidden layer (Hidden layer): located between the input layer and the output layer, responsible for feature extraction and transformation. Complex neural networks usually contain multiple hidden layers;

[0065] ③ Output layer (Output layer): generates the final output result, and each neuron corresponds to an output category or numerical value.

[0066] Each neuron is connected to other neurons through weights and biases, and signals are processed through activation functions. Activation functions are generally nonlinear to fit the nonlinear relationship between input and output.

[0067] (2) Working principle of Neural Networks

[0068] The working principle of Neural Networks can be divided into the following steps:

[0069] Forward Propagation: Input data passes through each layer of the network, layer by layer, performing weighted and biased operations, resulting in a final output at the output layer.

[0070] Loss Calculation: By comparing the predicted results with the actual labels, the value of the loss function is calculated to measure the prediction error of the network.

[0071] Backpropagation: Based on the gradient of the loss function, the weights and biases of the network are adjusted to minimize the loss function. This process uses gradient descent or its variants of optimization algorithms.

[0072] Iterative Training: The process of forward propagation and backpropagation is repeated until the network converges or reaches the preset training rounds.

[0073] For the simulation-generated dataset, this paper uses neural networks to fit the relationship between the near-field amplitude and phase of AUT. The input feature of 400x3 near-field amplitude can be regarded as a three-channel image of 20x20 pixels, so this paper uses a mature convolutional neural network (CNN) for training and fitting.

[0074] The CNN model used in this paper is the MobileNetV2 neural network model, as shown in Figure 2 The model has been successfully applied to near-field plane measurement. MobileNetV2 neural network model follows the depth separable convolution in MobileNetV1, but unlike the latter using 1x1 convolution block for dimensionality reduction operation, the former uses 1x1 convolution block for dimensionality increase operation. MobileNetV2 neural network model introduces linear bottleneck and inverted residuals. Linear bottleneck replaces low-dimensional nonlinear activation transformation with linear transformation to avoid losing too much useful information, and inverted residuals are for residual block of ResNet network. Residual block is a funnel-shaped structure, while inverted residuals is a process of dimensionality increase and then dimensionality reduction, which is a spindle-shaped structure.

[0075] The MobileNetV2 structure used in this invention is shown in Table 1, and the network is established using Pytorch. The network input is the amplitude data |E r |,|E θ |, The network output is the predicted three-component near-field phase information of the 400 sampling points of the near field denoted as 1200 values, the phase recovery schematic diagram is shown in Figure 3 The network is trained using the adaptive momentum optimizer (Adam), with a batch size of 160, a learning rate of 0.003, and an NVIDIA RTX A5000 GPU for 100 rounds of training. The loss function used is the average mean square error (MSE) between the predicted phase of the neural network and the simulated phase φ.

[0076] Table 1 MobileNetV2 structure diagram

[0077]

[0078] S3. For the antenna to be tested that is not in the dataset, only the near-field amplitude information is obtained through simulation, and the predicted near-field phase is obtained by inputting it into the trained neural network, so as to obtain the complete near-field amplitude and phase information. The equivalent dipole source of the antenna to be tested is calculated using the least squares method;

[0079] The equivalent dipole theory uses a weighted dipole array to replace the AUT to represent its radiation characteristics, as shown in Figure 4 The larger radius sphere in the figure represents the near-field simulation or measurement sphere, and E r ,E θ , represents the three components of the near-field electric field, and the smaller radius sphere represents the sphere where the dipoles are placed, P θ , represents the two components of the dipole. Here we use the electric dipole model, to reduce the computational complexity, the dipoles are placed along the tangential direction of the sphere, and the electric field of the near-field sphere and the dipole array can be represented as follows.

[0080] T 3m×2n P 2n×1 = E 3m×1

[0081] where m represents the number of near-field sampling points, and n represents the number of dipoles. P 2n×1 is a column vector composed of the θ and components of the dipole array, E 3m×1 is a column vector composed of the r, θ and components of the near-field electric field, and T 3m×2n is the relationship matrix between them, where The six block matrices are only related to the positions of the sampling points and the dipoles.

[0082]

[0083] For AUTs not in the dataset, only near-field amplitude information is obtained by simulation (for the problem of accurately measuring near-field phase in actual testing), and according to the trained neural network obtained in the previous step, the near-field amplitude |E 3m×1 of the AUT is obtained, and the input neural network can obtain the predicted near-field phase 3m×1 , and the complete near-field is obtained. The equivalent dipole source is calculated using near-field information is an electromagnetic inverse problem, and the commonly used method is the least squares method, and the objective function is:

[0084] minF(P 2n×1 )=‖E 3m×1 -T 3m×2n P 2n×1 ‖ 2

[0085] The least squares solution of the dipole vector can be obtained by matrix singular value decomposition. In Python, the numpy library can be called to solve it.

[0086] The dipole is placed on a spherical surface with a radius of 0.1m, and 18x18 sampling points are evenly set between 10-170° of and 0-340° of , that is, n=324. According to the simulated near-field amplitude and the predicted near-field phase of the neural network, the equivalent dipole source of the AUT is easily calculated by the least squares method.

[0087] S4. Calculate the far field of the antenna under test according to the equivalent dipole theory.

[0088] According to the equivalent dipole theory, the far field of the AUT is calculated, only the relationship matrix between the dipole array and the far field sampling point is calculated, denoted as , which is similar to the relationship matrix T 3m×2n between the dipole array and the near field in the above. The calculation method of T 3m×2n is similar, only the position of the sampling point is set farther to meet the far field condition, from near field to far field. The far field distance is set to 100m (which meets the far field condition), and the sampling point is set to 37x73, that is, every 5° in 0-180° of and 0-360° of . According to the equivalent dipole source obtained in the previous step, the matrix equation can be used to calculate the far field, and the far field of the AUT is predicted.

[0089] In the embodiments of this application, the training loss curve of the neural network is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the dark curve represents the error on the training set and the light curve represents the error on the validation set. It can be seen that the neural network fits well, with the MSE of the training set and the validation set both below 1000, and there is no serious overfitting phenomenon.

[0090] To compare existing global optimization algorithms with the proposed method, an additional 100 horn antenna samples not found in the training and validation sets were selected as the test set. An equivalent dipole source was constructed using a covariance adaptive evolution strategy (CMA-ES) and a trained neural network. Figure 6 The results demonstrate the reconstruction of the near field using a randomly selected test set of horn antenna samples. Here, E_real represents the simulated real near field, E_cma represents the near field reconstructed using the CMA-ES optimization algorithm, and E_cnn represents the near field reconstructed using the proposed method. On two perpendicular near field cross-sections, the near field reconstruction results of both methods are similar and perform well.

[0091] To compare the differences in the two methods for predicting the far field of the AUT, the error is defined as follows.

[0092]

[0093] Where E k M represents the electric field component. s M represents the true near-field amplitude data of the AUT. e This represents the near-field amplitude data obtained based on the equivalent dipole source. m is the total number of near-field sampling points, i = 1, 2…m, and…

[0094] Table 2 Comparison of Results

[0095]

[0096] As can be seen from Table 2, using neural networks for phase retrieval and constructing equivalent dipoles is significantly better than the CMA-ES algorithm, with a greater advantage in both timeliness and accuracy. Figure 7 The far-field radiation pattern of the horn antenna predicted using a neural network method is shown, where real represents the actual simulated far field and cnn represents the far field predicted using a neural network. It can be seen that it has a very high consistency with the simulation.

[0097] The foregoing is considered as illustrative of the principles of the application. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the application to the exact construction and practice described. Accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents can be resorted to falling within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims that follow and their functional equivalents.
