Non Uniform-Antenna Array Synthesis Using Neural Networks

Traditional antenna array synthesis methods are usually based on uniform arrays. A neural network can relate the radiation pattern with the voltages that must be applied to each radiating element without making any assumption about the geometry of the antenna, and allowing solving non uniform-antenna array problems even considering coupling effects.
