Machine Learning Based FDTD Method for 3D Electromagnetic Simulation

This article introduces an innovative and efficient deep learning-assisted Finite-Difference Time-Domain (DL-FDTD) method in the field of computational electromagnetics. This method ingeniously integrates the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm into the traditional FDTD framework, termed as the PSO-GRU-FDTD model. A key innovation of this model is the application of the particle swarm algorithm, which significantly simplifies the parameter tuning process, thereby accelerating model development. This advancement represents a notable breakthrough from the complex parameter adjustment process typical in traditional neural network models. Moreover, compared to the traditional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, the GRU network excels in simplicity, convenience, and efficiency, while also ensuring accuracy. Ultimately, this method is applied to three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation and emulation. Numerical results demonstrate that this approach exhibits outstanding performance in both simulation accuracy and efficiency.
