摘要

Accurately predicting the resonant frequencies of microstrip antennas is crucial for efficient antenna design and optimisation, yet traditional analytical and numerical methods often face challenges in handling complex parameter interactions. This paper presents a novel approach to predict the resonant frequencies of microstrip antennas using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and image-based encoding of antenna parameters. The proposed method encodes the key design parameters—length (L), width (W), height (h), and relative permittivity (εr)—into 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 RGB images, where each parameter is mapped to specific colour channels or derived spatial features. These encoded images are utilized as inputs to a CNN architecture tailored for regression tasks, predicting the resonant frequency as a continuous output. The model demonstrates superior prediction accuracy for training and testing on a comprehensive dataset of microstrip antenna designs, achieving a low average percentage error (APE). The CNN effectively captures the complex relationships between antenna parameters and their corresponding resonant frequencies by leveraging spatial and feature-derived patterns in the RGB-encoded images. This approach offers a novel perspective on antenna design optimisation, enabling a highly accurate, automated, and scalable solution to predict antenna performance. The results underscore the potential of image-based encoding in enhancing the rapid design and optimisation of microstrip antennas.
