Abstract

An ensemble-learning-based multiobjective optimization is proposed for antenna design. By integrating the local search into multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) and selecting appropriate solutions of the local search acquired with different offspring reproduction (OR) operators, the MOEA/D combined with ensemble OR (MOEA/D-EOR) is presented. Parallel local OR operators based on samples are also merged, for the first time, by exhaustively mining the evolution data of the optimization searching. The diversity and convergence of MOEA/D-EOR are verified by several widely used benchmark problems. The efficiency of MOEA/D-EOR is demonstrated by designing a high-performance bow-tie multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna, which saves at least 25% of the optimization time. The overall performance of MOEA/D-EOR is further demonstrated by designing a 2 × 2 MIMO patch antenna in a compact size of 0.667λ× 0.667λ0, which achieves a high isolation of 24 dB in an operation band of 4.95 to 5.07 GHz.
