Development of ANN Models for the Design of Fractal Antennas

In this chapter, the development of ANN models for the design of proposed fractal antennas is explained. The various parameters of the fractal antennas selected for ANN models are described. The ANN models are designed using feed-forward neural networks, namely MLPNN, RBFNN and GRNN. The performance comparison of different ANN models on the basis of different performance measures is also given. The design of ANN ensemble models for fractal antennas is introduced, and different techniques for developing ANN ensemble models are also discussed in this chapter. 

Keywords: ANN, ANN ensemble, Crown fractal antenna, Fractal antenna, Miniaturized antenna.
