Description
Summary:Inspired by the variational autoencoder (VAE), we propose a novel multi-solutions strategy combined with a tandem neural network for inverse design and optimization problems. In the training, a latent vector <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">z</tex-math></inline-formula> is concatenated to perturb the <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">S_{11}</tex-math></inline-formula> as input to the decoder. Within this framework, a multi-band slotted dipole antenna is employed as an example to validate the feasibility of the proposed network. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method not only breaks the one-to-one limitation between inputs and outputs in neural networks to generate diverse solutions, but also significantly accelerates model convergence through the introduction of a tandem architecture, compared with conventional generative adversarial approaches. The network potentially provides an efficient framework for solving inverse problems involving multi-solutions and optimization.
