Abstract: The parameter optimization by means of the neural networks is the major attraction, which highlights the ease, precision and reduction in computational time for the designers of interest. The paper deals with the design of a probe fed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna for 2.4 GHz frequency. The analytical results for various conceivable dimensions and different dielectric values were intended without any structural complexities. To achieve an optimum value for the design parameters of the Microstrip antenna, Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP) and Back Propagation algorithm were implemented to train the network. The analytical results were tested by simulating with basic design software HFSS. The bid of artificial neural network ensures an optimal design methodology which is revealed when relating the results with analytical methods, results of the simulation software.
Keywords: ANN, HFSS, Microstrip, N tool.
