Data-driven model order reduction via Loewner approach for fast frequency sweep in hybrid BI-FEM solution in large finite frequency selective surfaces

A data-driven model order reduction technique for fast frequency sweep in computationally intensive full-wave solution in large finite frequency selective surfaces is detailed. A hybrid Boundary Integral-Finite Element Domain Decomposition Method is addressed to accurately predict the electromagnetic behavior of these structures. A reduced-order model is built up by means of output data provided by the electromagnetic solver, which is used as a black box as regards the model order reduction process. A Loewner matrix approach is taken into account to provide a tangential interpolation to S parameter output data. As a result, a dynamical system representation fitting the simulation data is obtained, and further electromagnetic insight can be earned from this system representation.
