Wide attention was recently given to the problem of fault-tolerance in neural networks; while most authors dealt with aspects related to specific VLSI implementations, attention was also given to the intrinsic capacity of survival to faults characterizing the neural modes. The present paper tackles

β¦ Synopsis
A novel artificial neural network (ANN) suitable for computationally intensive problems is described in this paper. The usefulness of this ANN is demonstrated for the synthesis of a microstrip line. This ANN uses a standard neural network architecture consisting of a hetero-associative memory and exploits a fault-tolerant number representation, which gives significant insight into a new method of fault-tolerant computing. In addition this ANN provides an efficient method for synthesizing geometrical parameters of microwave devices, when stochastic features are incorporated in the synthesis process. Further research is required to investigate the potential of this new paradigm.

## Abstract An application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for accuracy improving of the microwave FETs (MESFET/HEMT, dualβgate MESFET) noise modeling is presented in this paper. The proposed model is based on a basic transistor noise wave model, whose noise wave temperatures are assumed to be
