This thesis explores how machine learning can uncover excitation vectors that produce better beam patterns in practical antenna arrays, explicitly accounting for effects such as mutual coupling between elements. The aim is to create an excitation-vector model that leads to improved beam-weight design and measurable gains in overall antenna system performance. The Master's thesis project is suitable for a team of two students.\nWhat you will do\nAnalyze the interaction between beam weights and antenna system performance, focusing on aspects such as side-lobe suppression.\nExamine the correlation between cost functions and excitation vectors across various antenna geometries.\nInvestigate the influence and dependencies between excitation vectors and cost functions.\nDevelop an optimized excitation-vector model.\nAssess the model’s effectiveness using established quality metrics from both machine learning and antenna design.\nValidate the model through measurement data.\nThis thesis integrates antenna theory, electromagnetic modeling, optimization methods, machine learning, and measurement-based validation.\nThe skills you bring:\nCurrently enrolled in a Master's program in Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent field.\nKnowledge of electromagnetic field theory.\nExperience with Python programming.\nExperience with MATLAB.\nExperience applying machine learning methods.\nAn analytical and structured approach to problem-solving.\nWhy join Ericsson?
