Transmitarray Antenna Design Using Forward and Inverse Neural Network Modeling

Transmitarray work begins with the setting up of a database of transmission coefficients versus element parameters. This database has to be inverted as part of the design process. It is shown that inverse neural networks are well-suited to do this, even when the inverse relationships are multivalued.
