  1. aThe cost includes acquisition of the reference designs, which is 864 EM high-fidelity simulations of the antenna when using feature-based optimization67 as listed in the table. Conventional (minimax) optimization required high-fidelity 1012 simulations.
  2. bThe cost refers to high-fidelity simulations.
  3. cThe cost includes generation of random trial points, here, 106 high-fidelity simulations in total to yield Nr = 50 accepted samples.
  4. dThe cost includes generation of random trial points at low-fidelity level, here, 120 simulations in total to yield Nr = 50 accepted samples.
  5. eIn the case of the proposed model, the numbers 50 through 800 refer to low-fidelity EM simulations.
