The underlying simulation model is given in terms of a recently proposed isogeometric integral equation formulation, which can be interpreted as a high-order generalization of the partial element equivalent circuit method. We demonstrate a significant improvement in the optimized design, i.e., a reduction in the magnitude of the scattering parameter over a wide frequency range.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.19025v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.19025v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"isogeometric-shape-optimization-of-multi","repo_url":"https://github.com/temf/igapeec_balun_opt","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
