Design and Optimization of Ultra-Wideband Dual-Notch Antenna Based on the BOLGB-DE Algorithm

Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 155, 213-224, 2025
Abstract
With the rapid development of modern communication technologies, the use of ultra-wideband (UWB) notch antennas in various communication systems has increased significantly. However, designing UWB notch antennas with traditional methods often involves high complexity and low efficiency. To address the challenge, a novel optimization method, named BOLGB-DE (Bayesian optimization-Light Gradient Boosting Machine-Differential Evolution), is proposed. First, the BOLGB model is selected as the surrogate model to establish the relationship between antenna design parameters and performance. Then, the DE algorithm is used to invoke the BOLGB surrogate model to achieve the antenna optimization objectives. Compared to the traditional method, BOLGB-DE method enables the reduction of electromagnetic simulations by 62% (from 1176 to 440 runs) and optimization time by 62% (from 22.8 hours to 8.6 hours). Finally, a UWB dual-notch antenna is designed using the BOLGB-DE method, featuring a dual-notch structure within the 1.9 GHz-10.1 GHz range. It achieves two notch bands (3.58 GHz-4.17 GHz for C-band downlink shielding and 5.12 GHz-5.38 GHz for 5G Wi-Fi interference suppression) while maintaining the target S11 values greater than -7 dB. The design requirements are successfully met by the antenna, as confirmed by the measurement results.
