Simulator-Refined Diffusion for Radio-Frequency Inverse Design

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.38363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models have shown potential in inverse design of printed circuit boards (PCBs), enabling the generation of layouts conditioned on target S-parameters. Despite this promise, applying diffusion models to PCB layout generation remains challenging due to their difficulty in meeting the quantitative electromagnetic specifications. A common approach is gradient-based guidance, which biases the diffusion sampling process with the gradient of an objective used for evaluation. However, full-wave electromagnetic simulators are accurate but expensive and typically non-differentiable, whereas differentiable surrogates are informative but not always reliable. To address these limitations, this paper proposes Simulator-Refined Diffusion (SRD), a
