Abstract

An annular ring compact microstrip antenna (ARCMA) constructed by loading a circular slot in the center of the circular patch antenna is a popular microstrip antenna due to its favorable properties. In this study, a method based artificial neural networks (ANNs) has been firstly applied for the computing the resonant frequency of ARCMAs. Multilayered perceptron model based on feed forward back propagation ANN has been utilized, and the constructed model have been separately trained with 8 different learning algorithms to achieve the best results regarding the resonant frequency of ARCMAs at dominant mode. To this end, the resonant frequencies of 80 ARCMAs with varied dimensions and electrical parameters in accordance with UHF band covering GSM, LTE, WLAN and WiMAX applications were simulated with a robust numerical electromagnetic computational tool, $$\hbox {IE3D}^\mathrm{TM}$$IE3DTM, which is based on method of moment. Then, ANN model was constructed with the simulation data, by using 70 ARCMAs for training and the remaining 10 for test. As the performances of the 8 learning algorithms are compared with each other, the best result is obtained with Levenberg---Marquardt algorithm. The proposed ANN model were confirmed by comparing with the suggestions reported elsewhere via measurement data published earlier in the literature, and they have further validated on an ARCMA fabricated in this study. The results achieved in this study show that ANN model learning with LM algorithm can be successfully used to compute the resonant frequency of ARCMAs without involving any sophisticated methods.
