Metaelement Parameters Optimization for Creation Metamaterial with Given Electromagnetic Properties

The paper proposes an approach to determining the optimal parameters of a metaelement for creating an electromagnetic shield with the required values of the reflection and transmission coefficients. The approach is implemented using an artificial bee colony optimization algorithm to solve a multi-criteria problem of determining the optimal parameters of a meta-element. As an optimization criterion, the reflection coefficient is considered, which must correspond to a given frequency range. The weight of the meta-element and its overall parameters are considered as limitations of the optimization problem. The mathematical model is founded an objective function of the dependence of the reflection coefficient on the overall parameters of the meta-element. The paper discusses the studies of the proposed artificial bee colony optimization algorithm, which confirm its effectiveness for finding the optimal parameter of the meta-element to create a screen with the required electromagnetic properties.
