• Abstract: A machine learning-assisted framework for the inverse design of pixelated millimetre-wave patch antennas targeting the 22--30 GHz band is presented. The antenna surface is represented as a 19x23 binary pixel grid on a Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate, where each pixel is either metal or empty, with a continuous electrical path from the feed enforced by design. An initial dataset of approximately 6,000 full-wave CST simulations was collected from structured random pixel patterns, of which only around 40% achieved a resonance with |S11| <= -10 dB anywhere in the band, resulting in an imbalanced dataset. To improve simulation efficiency, an XGBoost binary classifier was trained on this data to distinguish resonant from non-resonant patterns before simulation. Using the classifier as a pre-simulation filter, an additional 4,000 patterns were selected and simulated, raising the overall proportion of resonant designs in the combined 10,000-sample dataset from approximately 40% to 52%. A hybrid CNN-BiLSTM forward surrogate was then trained on this augmented dataset to predict the full complex S11 response across 801 frequency points, using a physics-guided composite loss that explicitly emphasises resonance dip accuracy. Finally, an inverse design model was developed that optimises in a compact 64-dimensional latent space using gradient descent to generate pixel patterns matching a desired S11 specification. The results show good agreement between the surrogate-predicted and CST-simulated |S11| responses for the generated designs and demonstrate the feasibility of automatically designing and reconfiguring antenna structures.
