The Use of Artificial Neural Network in the Design of Metamaterials

This paper presents an analysis of the resonant characteristics of a composite medium based on a periodic array of interspaced conducting nonmagnetic split ring resonators and continuous thin wires. The medium exhibits simultaneously negative values of effective permeability and permittivity within a microwave frequency band, characterizing a metamaterial. An analysis using Artificial Neural Networks is performed to obtain the permeability and permittivity as a function of resonant frequencies for a given geometrical dimensions of the metamaterial, for an optimization of the development medium.
