With the objective to evolve the geometry of a compact wideband slotted radiator for sub-6 GHz 5G n78-band applications (3.0-4.2 GHz), this paper presents an AI-augmented methodology. To automatically improve slot shape, slot dimensions, feed parameters, and radiator contour, a hybrid workflow combining Bayesian Optimization (BO) and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) surrogate model is presented. Throughout the 3.0-4.2 GHz range, the suggested three-stage evolution – from a simple monopole to a corner-truncated patch and ultimately to an AI-optimized polygonal slotted radiator – achieves continuous |S11| − 10 dB bandwidth. Smooth impedance characteristics, enhanced current distribution, radiation efficiency of 78-86 %, and a realized gain of 5.0-6.1 dBi are all displayed by the optimized radiator. This method shows great promise for compact wideband radiators in 5G terminals by eliminating manual parameter sweeps and reducing design cycles. |
