Optimization of a Waveguide Iris Bandpass Filter — EGO Version

Application ID: 133371


A waveguide filter is designed using shape optimization by moving and scaling rectangles in the geometry. The irises of the initial geometry are optimized to ensure good bandpass response and out-of-band rejection, while maintaining the double mirror symmetry. The EGO optimization solver is used to find a design close to the global minimum and the optimization is continued with MMA to find the location of the minimum more accurately.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
