Popis: Automated model generation (AMG) is an automated artificial neural network (ANN) modeling algorithm, which integrates all the subtasks (including adaptive sampling/data generation, model structure adaptation, training, and testing) in neural model development into one unified framework. In existing AMG, most of the time is spent on data sampling and model structure adaptation due to the iterative neural network training and the sequential computation mechanism. In this paper, we propose an advanced AMG algorithm using parallel computation and interpolation approaches to speed up the neural modeling of microwave devices. Efficient interpolation approaches are incorporated to avoid repetitive training of the intermediate neural networks during adaptive sampling process in AMG. Parallel computation formulation based on a multi-processor environment is proposed to further save time during interpolation calculation, data generation, and model structure adaptation process. Examples of automated modeling of two microwave filters are presented to show the advantage of this paper.
