Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of electronic design automation and microwave radio frequency technology, and in particular to an automated design method for radio frequency antennas based on a state-space reduced-order model and level set topology optimization. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous expansion of wireless communication, radar sensing, and high-precision sensing technologies, the evolution of devices to higher frequency bands places increasingly stringent demands on the performance of electromagnetic devices such as antennas, filters, and metamaterials. Traditional on-chip antenna design methods mainly rely on the designer's intuition and repeated trial-and-error parameter scanning, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to getting trapped in local optima.

[0003] To overcome these limitations, automated design, particularly methods utilizing machine learning, has emerged. Current automated design methods mainly fall into two categories: The first is optimization methods based on predefined geometric templates, which restrict the device topology to a fixed geometric configuration and achieve this by optimizing a small number of parameters. While computationally efficient, this approach cannot escape the initial geometric assumptions and struggles to discover superior non-traditional structures. The second category is pixel-based design methods, which discretize the design domain into high-resolution pixel units. Theoretically, this provides extremely high degrees of freedom in topology generation, but the resulting extremely high-dimensional design space leads to a severe "curse of dimensionality" during optimization. In high-frequency on-chip device design, full-wave electromagnetic simulation is extremely time-consuming, and acquiring high-fidelity data is computationally very expensive. Furthermore, the performance sensitivity of electromagnetic structures is often unevenly distributed, making a globally uniform blind search strategy inherently inefficient and wasting significant computational resources. Currently, there are two core bottlenecks in the field of automated design of high-frequency electromagnetic devices: first, the underlying algorithms of commercial electromagnetic field simulation software (such as HFSS and ADS) are not differentiable, and cannot directly provide efficient analytical gradients; second, existing AI proxy models are often black-box structures, lacking physical consistency and highly dependent on simulation data. How to construct a differentiable electromagnetic physics simulator that can converge quickly while ensuring physical rigor is key to achieving high-performance automated antenna design.

[0020] To illustrate the technical solutions described in this application, specific embodiments are provided below, showing only the parts related to the embodiments of this application.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an automated design method for radio frequency antennas based on a state-space reduced-order model and level set topology optimization, including the following steps (steps S1 to S3): S1. Construct a horizontal set function to characterize the antenna topology, and initialize the horizontal set function using the symbol distance function to obtain the initial horizontal set function.

[0022] Specifically, the antenna design area can be viewed as a continuous two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. Unlike existing methods that use discrete pixels or predefined geometric templates, this application introduces a high-order level set function to implicitly and continuously express the antenna topology mathematically. In some embodiments, the level set function can determine the metallic region, dielectric region, and boundaries of the antenna based on its sign. It can be represented as: in, Indicates the metallic area of ​​the antenna, Indicates the medium region, This represents the boundary between the metallic and dielectric regions. Using the zero isosurface of the level set function, the physical boundary between the metallic and dielectric regions of the antenna can be precisely and unambiguously defined. This transforms the complex topology optimization problem into the evolution problem of a smooth function on a fixed background mesh, thus converting the topology optimization process into finding the optimal level set function. .

[0023] In some embodiments, initializing the level set function using the symbolic distance function may include: obtaining the symbolic distance function values ​​of each sub-geometry in the antenna topology, and merging the symbolic distance function values ​​using a polynomial smooth minimization operation.

[0024] During the initialization phase, the initial topology, also known as the initial level set function, can be constructed using the symbolic distance function (SDF). Specifically, for a center coordinate of... A single rectangular patch with length L and width W, at any point in its space The SDF parsing calculation formula at the location is: Meanwhile, during the topology initialization phase, directly merging geometries using the standard minimum operation without any processing will result in sharp, non-differentiable bends at intersections or close proximity. Therefore, this application employs a polynomial smooth minimization operation to merge the SDFs of each geometry. Specifically, given the signed distance field function of two sub-geometries... , And parameters that control smoothness The merging process is as follows: First, calculate the local smoothing factor h: This leads to the merged level set function. : This polynomial smoothing minimization operation eliminates gradient discontinuities in the space, ensuring that the merged initial level set function strictly satisfies the Eikonal equation globally. Satisfying the Eikonal equation ensures that the level set function maintains a uniform distance field characteristic, that is, the gradient magnitude is always 1. This avoids the level set function becoming too steep or flat in space, thus completely eliminating the amplification of truncation error caused by finite difference calculation when solving complex topological evolution equations in the future, and maintaining the absolute numerical stability of the entire automated design calculation process.

[0025] The antenna design area in this embodiment can be one. square area Subsequently, a continuous level set function defined on this square region is introduced. The antenna topology can be a simple dipole antenna, which consists of two phase-separated... All dimensions are The rectangular patches are then used to precisely initialize the level set function using the minimum SDF of the two rectangular patches.

[0026] In some embodiments, initializing the level set function using the signed distance function can be expressed as: , in, and These represent two rectangular patches at points in space. The sign distance function value at that point. Then, to avoid standard minimum operation... The resulting gradients are discontinuous. In this specific embodiment, a polynomial smoothing minimization operation can be used to merge the SDFs of the rectangular patches.

[0027] The specific merging and calculation process is as follows: S2. The partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the electromagnetic field distribution are transformed into a finite ordinary differential equation system (ODE) through semi-discretization. A state-space reduced-order model (SSM) is then used to perform spatiotemporal dimensionality reduction modeling on the ODE system. The physical residuals of Maxwell's equations are used as a self-supervised loss function to drive the state-space reduced-order model to undergo self-supervised training based on the initial level set function, causing the state-space reduced-order model to converge to a local electromagnetic reduced-order model. The partial differential equations describing the electromagnetic field distribution can be Maxwell's partial differential equations.

[0028] Specifically, the antenna design region can first be semi-discretized using a finite difference grid, transforming the high-dimensional electromagnetic partial differential equations into a set of equivalent ODE descriptions. To address the computationally intensive problem of directly solving high-dimensional ODE systems, a state-space reduction model can be introduced for spatiotemporal dimensionality reduction modeling. This spatiotemporal dimensionality reduction modeling essentially maps the high-dimensional physical space to a low-dimensional implicit state space, resulting in a set of learnable system evolution matrices. The input to the state-space reduction model consists of the spatial medium distribution parameters determined by the current level set topology and the excitation source signal; the output is the predicted electromagnetic field vector reconstructed onto the global spatial grid.

[0029] The input to a state-space reduced-order model can include the current topology and the excitation source signal. The current topology can refer to the topology defined by the level set function. The spatial permittivity / permeability distribution is determined, and the excitation source signal can be a current source at the antenna port. wait.

[0030] The output of the state-space reduced-order model is the predicted electromagnetic field vector after the state-space reduced-order model is reconstructed back into the high-dimensional physical space, which is also the state vector. Or the final global steady-state electric field vector .

[0031] The training process of the state-space reduced-order model in this application is a self-supervised process of guessing, verifying, and correcting. The state-space reduced-order model first outputs a predicted global steady-state electric field vector based on the input; then, it substitutes this predicted global steady-state electric field vector into Maxwell's equations, and the difference between the left and right sides of the calculated equations is the physical residual; this physical residual is used as a self-supervised loss function, and the A, B, C, and D parameters of the system evolution matrix are updated in reverse using the AdamW optimizer until the physical residual approaches 0, at which point the state-space reduced-order model converges to the local electromagnetic reduced-order model.

[0032] Relying on the powerful sequence and ODE processing capabilities of SSM, the state-space reduced-order model can quickly converge to an effective local electromagnetic reduced-order model under a given topology, thereby achieving high-fidelity, fully differentiable electromagnetic field response prediction without the need for external simulation data.

[0033] For solving the electromagnetic field at a center frequency of 140 GHz in the D band, since the time-domain Maxwell's curl equation cannot be directly input into a conventional neural network, this embodiment first performs a central finite difference approximation on a fixed spatial grid to transform the infinite-dimensional PDE into a large-scale ordinary differential equation system with respect to time evolution, i.e., a finite ordinary differential equation system. The finite ordinary differential equation system can be expressed as: Among them, the full state vector Includes global electric field components and global magnetic field components , In this embodiment, the term "system excitation term" specifically refers to the port current source of the antenna. For level set function The parameterized spatial discrete differential operator matrix contains the spatial permittivity. and permeability distribution.

[0034] In some embodiments, a state-space reduced-order model is used to perform spatiotemporal dimensionality reduction modeling of a finite ordinary differential equation system, mapping the high-dimensional state to a low-dimensional latent space. Its dynamic evolution process can be represented as follows: Where A, B, C, and D are the learnable parameters of the state-space reduced-order model, which are also the aforementioned system evolution matrices. It is a low-dimensional latent space state vector. The predicted electromagnetic field vector output by the reduced-order state-space model contains the global steady-state electric field vector predicted by the model. And the corresponding magnetic field vector. Utilizing the continuous-time representation capability of the state-space reduced-order model, the discretized representation is transformed into efficient convolution operations or global recursion.

[0035] Subsequently, the self-supervised training phase of the state-space reduced-order model begins. The predicted electromagnetic field vector output from the state-space reduced-order model... Extract the predicted global steady-state electric field vector. Substituting these values ​​into the actual physical equations, the physical residuals of Maxwell's equations are used as the self-supervised loss function. This self-supervised loss function is used to measure whether the global steady-state electromagnetic field predicted by the state-space reduced-order model satisfies the physical constraints of the steady-state Helmholtz equations.

[0036] Let be the total state vector of the entire finite ordinary differential equation system. In the discretization of Maxwell's equations, to fully describe the electromagnetic field, this total state vector simultaneously includes both electric and magnetic field components, i.e. . It is the electric field vector, it is Part of this large collection.

[0037] In some embodiments, the self-supervised loss function can be calculated using the following formula: in, Represents the curl operator, Spatial permeability, The global steady-state electric field vector predicted by the reduced-order state-space model. Angular frequency, For the current level set function The spatial permittivity is determined. The port excitation current density in the frequency domain. The imaginary unit, This represents the squared L2 norm of the residual energy calculation.

[0038] In summary, this application constructs a self-supervised loss function at sampling points within the design domain, using the steady-state Helmholtz equation residuals, port excitation conditions, and absorbing boundary conditions. The AdamW optimizer drives the SSM for self-supervised learning, continuously updating the learnable parameters A, B, C, and D through backpropagation. Leveraging the powerful temporal and ODE processing capabilities of the state-space reduced-order model, it can quickly converge to an effective local electromagnetic reduced-order model under a given topology, thus achieving high-fidelity, fully differentiable global steady-state electromagnetic field response prediction without requiring any external simulation data labels.

[0039] S3. Obtain the gradient velocity field of the horizontal set function based on the local electromagnetic order reduction model. Continuously evolve the horizontal set function based on the gradient velocity field to obtain the final horizontal set function. The final horizontal set function is used for the automated design of the antenna to obtain the final antenna topology.

[0040] In some embodiments, obtaining the normal gradient velocity field of the level set function based on the local electromagnetic order reduction model may include: representing the antenna performance target as a functional that depends on the electromagnetic field distribution output by the local electromagnetic order reduction model, and using the adjoint state method to obtain the topological gradient of the performance target with respect to the level set function as the normal gradient velocity field.

[0041] Specifically, the antenna's performance metrics can be expressed as a complex functional that depends on the solution of a local electromagnetic reduced-order model. In some embodiments, the performance target can be the antenna's return loss S. 11 Because of S 11 It is not directly and explicitly determined by spatial coordinates, but rather by the distribution of the steady-state electromagnetic field in space. According to Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain, the steady-state magnetic field in space can be uniquely determined by the curl of the steady-state electric field, i.e., the global steady-state electric field vector. It is sufficient to completely and equivalently characterize the entire steady-state electromagnetic field distribution.

[0042] Furthermore, this electric field distribution is physically strictly controlled by the level set function characterizing the microscopic topological structure. Based on the above physical equivalence, S can be... 11 Represented as the global steady-state electric field vector extracted from the SSM output. functionals By constructing a functional, a mathematically precise differentiable mapping relationship between macroscopic performance indicators and microscopic topological structures is established, thus providing a rigorous theoretical basis for obtaining topological gradients using the adjoint state method (which only requires calculation of the electric field).

[0043] To find the update direction of the level set function that drives performance optimization, the adjoint state method can be used to calculate the normal gradient velocity field of the performance objective with respect to the level set function. Specifically, the adjoint Helmholtz equation corresponding to the steady-state Helmholtz equation is constructed and solved to obtain the adjoint electromagnetic field distribution. Since the SSM simulator is fully differentiable, solving the adjoint equations is practically equivalent to solving the functional equations along the feedback path. Perform an automatic differentiation backpropagation calculation for the objective function.

[0044] Subsequently, the global steady-state electric field vector predicted by SSM was used. and the accompanying electromagnetic field distribution obtained by backpropagation The spatial dot product is used to derive the performance objective for the level set function at the boundary. Normal gradient velocity field : in, To take the real part of a complex number, This represents the derivative of the spatial permittivity with respect to the horizontal set function. The normal gradient velocity field... Accurately quantified the effect of minute displacements of the physical boundary on the whole. The magnitude and direction of the impact on performance.

[0045] In some embodiments, the continuous evolution of the level set function based on the normal gradient velocity field may include: substituting the normal gradient velocity field into the Hamilton-Jacobi equation to drive the level set function to continuously evolve on a fixed grid according to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. The theoretical expression of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is: In the actual numerical solution and continuous evolution process, in order to ensure the smoothness of the generated topology, constrain the geometric complexity, and meet manufacturing process rules (such as preventing the generation of tiny holes or sharp angles), a curvature penalty term is introduced in the evolution. In the level set method, the curvature penalty is equivalent to regularizing the perimeter of the antenna boundary. The specific discrete iterative formula for updating the level set function numerically is as follows: in To provide a pseudo-time step that follows the CFL (Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy) stability condition, This is the curvature penalty weighting coefficient.

[0046] In each iteration where the topological boundary undergoes a minor evolution, the local electromagnetic order reduction model will be based on a new... Boundary conditions are fine-tuned in a very small number of steps under self-supervised guidance to quickly adapt to new boundary conditions and output updated gradients to guide the next evolution step. After a certain number of evolution steps, the level set function is reinitialized to restore its signed distance function property. This process iterates until the performance target meets the preset design specifications or the current iteration count reaches the maximum iteration count, resulting in the final level set function.

[0047] In some embodiments, the automated design method for radio frequency antennas based on state-space order reduction model and level set topology optimization may further include: extracting the zero level set contour from the final level set function, converting the zero level set contour into an explicit polygon, submitting it to 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation software for verification, and exporting the verified explicit polygon as a GDSII format layout file.

[0048] Specifically, the zero-isosurface profile can be extracted from the ultimately converged level set function. This profile represents the precise geometric boundary of the optimal antenna, and morphological filtering is applied to ensure it meets the minimum feature size requirements of the 65nm CMOS process. This profile is then transformed into an explicit polygonal geometric entity. This geometric entity is imported into commercial full-wave electromagnetic simulation software for high-precision physical verification, and the finally verified geometry is exported as an industry-standard GDSII layout file, completing the entire automated design process.

[0049] This process generates a smooth and physically consistent topology, fundamentally avoiding the checkerboard and mesh dependency problems caused by pixelation methods.

[0050] In this application, the antenna topology is implicitly represented using a level set function. Subsequently, a state-space reduced-order model is used for spatiotemporal dimensionality reduction modeling. Through self-supervised training using physical residuals, the model converges to a high-precision local electromagnetic reduced-order model. Finally, the level set function is continuously evolved using the local electromagnetic reduced-order model to obtain the final level set function. This application's embodiment achieves zero-sample topology optimization without requiring a large amount of simulation data, solving the problems of poor physical consistency in existing AI models and low optimization efficiency caused by the non-differentiability of commercial software.

[0051] This application combines high-degree-of-freedom model reconstruction with electromagnetic physics analysis, and efficiently optimizes the antenna topology and parameters through multiple granular stages, realizing the automatic generation of high-performance complex topology antennas with limited computing resources.
