Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional frequency sweeping methods are limited by their reliance on specific numerical values and are not suitable for scenarios like experimental measurements and machine learning, leading to inefficiencies and inaccuracies, especially at positions where frequency responses rapidly change.
Innovation Solution
An adaptive frequency sweeping method and system that dynamically selects sampling points based on error evaluation metrics, allowing for precise simulation at critical areas while performing coarse simulations in less critical regions, thereby improving precision and efficiency.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional frequency sweeping methods use dense frequency sweeping points to improve accuracy, then the accuracy of frequency sweeping curve is improved, but the calculation time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The frequency band is divided into multiple sub-bands, and different sampling densities are applied to different sub-bands based on their importance and characteristics. Critical areas (pass bands, stop bands, transition bands) use denser sampling, while non-critical areas use sparser sampling, thereby reducing overall calculation time while maintaining accuracy where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
Different sampling densities are assigned to different frequency regions based on their local characteristics. Areas with rapid frequency response changes or critical performance requirements receive higher sampling density, while areas with smooth responses receive lower density, optimizing the balance between accuracy and efficiency.
2Measurement precision
If conventional estimation techniques divide frequency bands into several narrower segments without discrimination, then sweeping analyses are performed on each segment, but this results in low efficiency due to uniform treatment of all areas
Solution Approach 1:
The method identifies and categorizes different frequency regions (pass bands, stop bands, transition bands) and applies different sampling strategies to each. Critical areas such as transition bands with rapid changes receive denser sampling, while stable pass bands receive sparser sampling, thereby improving efficiency without sacrificing accuracy in critical regions.
Solution Approach 2:
The sampling density is dynamically adjusted based on the characteristics of each frequency region. The system automatically determines appropriate sampling intervals for different bands based on their response characteristics, rather than using a fixed uniform sampling approach throughout the entire frequency range.
3Productivity
If conventional methods decompose the overall matrix of FEM to obtain analytical expression, then frequency sweeping can be performed, but such methods are not applicable in environments where explicit governing equations are absent
Solution Approach 1:
The method uses a universal sampling and estimation approach that can be applied across different environments and simulation tools. By relying on frequency response sampling and Taylor series expansion rather than specific matrix decomposition techniques, the method becomes applicable to both simulation environments with explicit governing equations and experimental measurement environments without such equations.
