Description
Summary:It is difficult to simultaneously ensure the radio frequency (RF) performance and mechanical strength of 65 GHz millimeter-wave connectors. To address this, satisfaction-based multiobjective method for connector design optimization is proposed. An optimization model is developed for the structural dimensions of 65 GHz millimeter-wave connectors to minimize the voltage standing wave ratio, insertion loss, and deflection and maximum stress of the center conductor. The proposed optimization model concurrently satisfies the design requirements in terms of characteristic impedance, transmission frequency, and dielectric withstanding voltage. The model is optimized by innovatively using the multiobjective chaotic optimization algorithm in microwave finite-element simulations. The resulting optimal structure satisfies all performance requirements, thereby proving the rationality and feasibility of the proposed method. Moreover, this study establishes a novel design for other microwave devices to solve the problem of multiple performance index restrictions.
