K-TRAIL: Simulator-Guided Generative Design of EM/RF Circuits

K-TRAIL is a simulator-guided generative framework that uses diffusion-based layout generation combined with derivative-free ensemble Kalman guidance to design RF and electromagnetic circuits. It allows a black-box EM simulator to refine candidate layouts during generation, supporting synthesis from target S-parameter responses or direct RF performance constraints. Experiments on multi-layer RFIC structures demonstrate improved agreement with target responses and the ability to discover structurally distinct layouts that meet design requirements.

Diffusion-Based Inverse Design of Dielectric Resonator Metasurfaces for Shaping Smart Electromagnetic Environments

The paper presents a conditional diffusion framework for the inverse design of dielectric resonator metasurfaces based on target angular scattering patterns. Trained on T‑matrix simulated geometry‑response pairs, the model learns a distribution of feasible geometries, allowing multiple candidate designs for the ill‑posed inverse problem. The best generated metasurface achieves a mean percentage error of 1.39%, outperforming CMA‑ES optimization and deterministic neural baselines, and can be inferred in about one minute after training.
