Applications of artificial intelegence techniques in microstrip component and antenna design at Jadavpur University in the present decade

Abstract

Artificial intelligence techniques viz. artificial neural networks (ANN) and genetic algorithms (GA) etc. are well-known in the field of soft computing to solve computationally intensive problems. Researches at Jadavpur University by the authors focussed on applying these techniques to overcoming the limitations of microstrip components and antennas in terms of several useful parameters like band width, power handling capacity etc. Factors of influence experienced and innovations made in these recent works are enlisted in brief.
