Modeling of microstrip antennas using neural networks techniques: A review

Artificial neural networks modeling have recently acquired enormous importance in microwave community especially in analyzing and synthesizing of microstrip antennas (MSAs) due to their generalization and adaptability features. A trained neural model estimates response very fast, which is nearly equal to its measured and/or simulated counterpart. Thus, it completely bypasses the repetitive use of conventional models as these models need rediscretization for every minor changes in the geometry, which itself is a time‐consuming exercise. The purpose of this article is to review this emerging area comprehensively for both analyzing and synthesizing of the MSAs. During reviewing process, some untouched cases are also observed, which are essentially required to be resolved for antenna designers. Unique and efficient neural networks‐based solutions are suggested for these cases. The proposed neural approaches are validated by fabricating and characterizing of the prototypes too. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 25:747–757, 2015.

Improved phase performance for rotman lens

Rotman lenses are used to obtain multiple beams from a single array. Although the beams produced by the feed antennas at focal points have no path length errors, the beams produced by feed antennas at off focal points may have large path length errors. These path length errors cause deterioration in the multiple beams. In this article, two novel methods are introduced to obtain feed curves which reduce the path length errors of off focal feed points significantly, compared with the commonly used circular and elliptical feed curves. The first method obtains feed curve points based on having zero path length error at three chosen points of the radiating array for each beam direction. The second method uses the particle swarm optimization method for obtaining optimum feed points for each beam direction. The results show that there is a very significant drop in the level of the maximum path length errors (in the order of about 1:4). © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Design of hexa‐band planar inverted‐F antenna using hybrid BSO‐NM algorithm for mobile phone communications

This article presents a new design of multiband planar inverted‐F antenna with slotted ground plane and S‐etched slot on the radiation patch. The proposed antenna is optimized using an efficient global hybrid optimization method combining bacterial swarm optimization and Nelder‐Mead (BSO‐NM) algorithm to cover a very important six service bands including GSM900, GPS1575, DCS1800, PCS1900, ISM2450, and 4G5000 MHz with enhanced bandwidths. The BSO‐NM algorithm in Matlab code is linked to the CST Microwave studio software to simulate the antenna. To validate the results, the antenna is analyzed using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. A good agreement is achieved between the results of EM simulation and that produced from the FDTD method. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2013.
