Antenna are one of the most important components in wireless communications and are used WIFI, 3G, 4G and 5G mobile communications. While available CAD tools provide simulators and optimizers, an antenna designer can spend up to 6 months to produce a near-optimal antenna design. In the fast-moving electronics industry this length of time required becomes a barrier. The applicants AI-driven antenna design methodology, the SADEA series, is addressing this bottleneck by offering a transformative method for antenna design, reducing design time to a few days/weeks. Since the first generation in 2014, the SADEA series has become the only viable way for modern antennas with complex structures and stringent specifications to be designed using AI. This IAA project will enhance the commercialisation of the SADEA series through the improvement of interfacing to popular simulation software, including including MATLAB, PathWave, CST, HFSS, FEKO, COMSOL.
