Estimating the frequency and bandwidth of square-split ring resonator (S-SRR) designs via support vector machines (SVM)

Abstract

In this study Support Vector Machine (SVM) based estimation technique is proposed for estimating the bandstop frequency and bandwidth of square-split ring resonators. Artificially engineered surfaces especially the planar frequency selective surfaces like the SRRs have narrowband properties so that estimating the filtering frequencies and the bandwidth is essential in a cost and design-effective way. The proposed method, which is superior to optimization methods and 3D electromagnetic solvers in terms of cost and computational burden, achieved accurate results via SVMs generalization capability. This study represents two SVM regression models one for predicting frequency and the other for predicting bandwidth having fast response and accuracy. Results of the proposed model reveal that resonance frequency estimation error, in terms of percentage, is bounded in the interval [0.0542, 3.5938], with an overall error of 0.89 % for the test data. The mean and standard deviation of the percentage error is obtained as 0.9861 and 0.9376, respectively. In addition to that -10dB bandwidth is estimated with the bounded error where estimation error in terms of percentage would be lie in the interval [0.068925, 6.876800] with an overall error of 3.68% for the test data.
