ANN techniques in microwave engineering

In the last two decades, artificial neural network (ANN) technology has leaped forward and is now being applied in different areas such as speech recognition, control, telecommunication, remote sensing, pattern recognition, etc. ANN application to the field of microwaves is very recent. This article reviews the development of neural network techniques, introduces some basic concepts involved in it, and gives a comprehensive survey of neural network application to different branches of microwave engineering.
