Artificial Neural Networks for the Characteristic Impedance Calculation of Conductor-Backed Coplanar Waveguides

A new, simple method characteristic impedance calculating the conductor-backed coplanar waveguide, based on artificial neural networks, is presented. Three leaming algorithms, the backpropagation, the delta-bar-delta, and the extended-delta-bar-delta, are used to train the networks. The method can be used for a wide range of substrate thicknesses and permittivities, and is useful for the computer-aided desigr (CAD) of coplanar waveguides. The calculated characteristic impedance results are in very good agreement with the results available in the literature.

Synthesis of interdigital capacitors based on particle swarm optimization and artificial neural networks

International Journal of Rf and Microwave Computer-aided Engineering, 2006

This article reports on the use of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in the synthesis of the planar interdigital capacitor (IDC). The PSO algorithm is used to optimize the geometry parameters of the IDC in order to obtain a certain capacitance value. The capacitance value of the IDC is evaluated using an artificial neural network (ANN) model with the geometry parameters of the IDC as its inputs. Several design examples are presented that illustrate the use of the PSO algorithm, and the design goal in each example is easily achieved. Full-wave electromagnetic simulations are also performed for some of the studied IDC structures implemented using coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology. The simulation results are in good agreement with those obtained using the ANN/PSO algorithm.

A CAD neural analysis for edge coupled coplanar waveguides

2008 International Conference on Recent Advances in Microwave Theory and Applications, 2008

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been promising tools for many applications. In recent years, a computer-aided design approach based on ANNs has been introduced to microwave modelling, simulation and optimization. In this work, the characteristics parameters of edge coupled coplanar waveguides (CPWs) have been determined with the use of models. These neural models were trained with LM, DR, QN, CGF and SCG learning algorithms. The results have shown that the estimated characteristics parameters are in very good agreement with the computed results by using conformal mapping theory. The LM learning algorithm was found to be the best algorithm among all. As a result, ANN models presented in this work can be used easily, simply and accurately to determine the characteristics parameters of the edge coupled CPWs.

Computational Investigation of Asymmetric Coplanar Waveguides Using Neural Networks: A Microwave Engineering Exercise

In order to compute the characteristic impedance and the relative effective dielectric constant of an asymmetric coplanar waveguide with infinite or finite dielectric thickness, the use of artificial neural networks is valuable. The method of neural computing presented in this paper uses only one neural model for both parameters, for this specific waveguide type. The BFGS quasi-Newton back-propagation algorithm was used to train the developed neural network. Numerical results are given for several configurations along with comparisons with previously published data.

Quasi-static models based on artificial neural neworks for calculating the characteristic parameters of multilayer cylindrical coplanar waveguide and strip line

Progress In Electromagnetics Research, 2008

In this paper, two different neural models are proposed for calculating the quasi-static parameters of multilayer cylindrical coplanar waveguides and strip lines. These models were basically developed by training the artificial neural networks with the numerical results of quasi-static analysis. Neural models were trained with four different learning algorithms to obtain better performance and faster convergence with simpler structure. When the performances of neural models are compared with each other, the best test results are obtained from the multilayered perceptrons trained by the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The results obtained from the neural models are in very good agreements with the theoretical results available in the literature.

Characterization of coplanar waveguide open end capacitance-theory and experiment

IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 1994

The theory, numerical analysis, analytical approximate formula, measurement technique, and characteristic curves were presented in this paper for the characterization of coplanar waveguide open end capacitance. A novel variational equation was proposed in terms of the scalar potential on the slot aperture and was solved by applying the finite element method. With the available analytical Green's function and exact integration formulas in the space domain, this approach was found to be quite efficient and suitable for analyzing the coplanar waveguide discontinuity problemwven with more complicated geometrical configurations. Numerical results were compared to those obtained numerically and experimentally in previous literature, but did not correlate very well. An analytical formula under narrow-slot assumption was thus derived to render a verification of numerical results. Measurement by utilizing the resonance method were also made and the experimental data confirmed the validity of our theory. The relationship between the capacitance and the physical dimensions was also investigated. The characteristic curves of the open end capacitance were obtained. Also, an empirical formula was established for the open end structures with a thick substrate and narrow gap.
