Machine Learning Assisted Inverse Design of Pixelated mmWave Patch Antennas
A machine learning-assisted framework for the inverse design of pixelated millimetre-wave patch antennas targeting the 22--30 GHz band is presented. The antenna surface is represented as a 19x23 binary pixel grid on a Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate, where each pixel is either metal or empty, with a continuous electrical path from the feed enforced by design. An initial dataset of approximately 6,000 full-wave CST simulations was collected from structured random pixel patterns, of which only around 40% achieved a resonance with |S11| <= -10 dB anywhere in the band, resulting in an imbalanced d
