A Suboptimal Approach to Antenna Design Problems With Kernel Regression

This paper proposes a novel iterative algorithm based on a Kernel regression as a suboptimal approach to reliable and efficient antenna optimization. In our approach, the complex and non-linear cost surface calculated from antenna characteristics is fitted into a simple linear model using Kernels, and an argument that minimizes this Kernel regression model is used as a new input to calculate its cost using numerical simulations. This process is...
