Resonant frequency evaluation of microstrip antennas using a neural-fuzzy approach

The accurate evaluation of the resonant frequency of microstrip antennas is a key factor to guarantee their correct behavior. To this aim, the Method of Moments technique is currently employed. A fast technique to evaluate the resonant frequency of microstrip antennas using neuro-fuzzy networks, is proposed. Numerical results obtained by using this technique agree quite well with the Method of Moments results. The proposed technique can be fruitfully used in microwave CAD applications.
