Abstract

Coupled artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) models are developed for the design of broadband tapered slot antenna array elements. The ANN is employed to establish the complicated relationships between the key array performance indicator, i.e. active reflection coefficient, and its element parameters. The trained ANN models are combined with the GA to optimise the element parameters for a given operating frequency band without using time-consuming EM simulators. Optimisation results show the developed ANN-GA model can retain the accuracy obtainable from EM simulators and exhibit high computational efficiency.
