Wideband mobile antenna design based on artificial neural network models

A compact wideband planar monopole antenna is designed and optimized based on artificial neural network (ANN) models. The antenna is suitable for DCS, PCS, DECT, PHS, IMT‐2000, UMTS, and WLAN in mobile communication. The design time decreases dramatically due to using the ANN models. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
