Hybrid Empirical-Neural Model of Microwave Slotted Patch Antennas

Abstract

This paper presents a new hybrid empirical-neural model (HEN) for slotted patch antenna modeling. Unlike the model based on a classical multi-layer perceptron (MLP) network, the proposed HEN model includes an existing partial knowledge about both the resonant frequency fr behavior and the minimum value of S11 parameter (s11min) behavior of patch antenna, yielding more accurate determination of these patch antenna parameters
