Physics-Augmented Graph Transformers for Patch-Antenna Forward and Inverse Design
Abstract
Full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation enables accurate patch-antenna analysis but is computationally expensive for large-scale forward prediction and inverse design. We present a mesh-native, physics-augmented graph-learning framework that treats radiation-pattern prediction as signal reconstruction on an irregular surface mesh. For the forward problem, a GPS graph transformer is trained with Physics-Augmented Intermediate Supervision (PAIS), an auxiliary node-level objective that predicts complex surface currents, the physical intermediate linking geometry to radiation. PAIS improves multiple GNN backbones at no inference-time cost, while shuffled-current and non-physical controls show the gain comes from physical correspondence. Direction-conditioned decoding and a differentiable radiation-integral consistency loss further exploit this structure. On an 80,000-sample CST benchmark, GPS+PAIS reaches MSE 0.17 / PSNR 19.67, generalizes to a PCA split, and transfers zero-shot to canonical patches. For inverse design, surrogate-filtered diffusion beats nearest-neighbor retrieval by 32% relative MSE.
