The design of an antenna requires a careful selection of its parameters to retain the desired performance. However, this task is time-consuming when the traditional approaches are employed, which represents a significant challenge. On the other hand, machine learning presents an effective solution to this challenge through a set of regression models that can robustly assist antenna designers to find out the best set of design parameters to achieve
the intended performance. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for accurately predicting the bandwidth of metamaterial antenna. The proposed approach is based on employing the recently emerged guided whale optimization algorithm using adaptive particle swarm optimization to optimize the parameters of the long-short-term memory (LSTM) deep network. This optimized network is used to retrieve the metamaterial bandwidth given a set
of features. In addition, the superiority of the proposed approach is examined in terms of a comparison with the traditional multilayer perceptron (ML), Knearest neighbors (K-NN), and the basic LSTM in terms of several evaluation criteria such as root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean bias error (MBE). Experimental results show that the proposed approach could achieve RMSE of (0.003018), MAE of (0.001871), and MBE
of (0.000205). These values are better than those of the other competing models.
