Elimination of direct waves in time-domain measurements of electromagnetic scattering by adaptive artificial neural network

Abstract

The use of an adaptive artificial neural network (ANN) for direct-wave elimination in time-domain measurements of electromagnetic scattering is considered. Many artificial experiments have been performed with the AST286 computer. The results obtained show that the adaptive ANN network, which ensures both real-time and high reliability and decreases the operational quantity considerably, is an effective technique for the elimination of direct waves in time-domain measurements of electromagnetic scattering.<>
