In the paper a neural network algorithm is presented for the synthesis of array patterns in the presence of mutual coupling. The algorithm is based on wavelet activation functions and is tested on a linear dipole array with a shaped pattern. The excitations and the lengths of the dipoles in the array are determined. The architecture of the neural network is discussed and simulation results are presented. The proposed algorithm makes the synthesis procedure more practical and accurate compared to the synthesis technique without mutual coupling considerations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
