✦ Synopsis


the structure in Figure 4(f) with that in Figure 4(g), in which all the radiating elements are activated, but with a different combination of switches. The prominence of the operating bands can be seen in Figure 4(g).

5. CONCLUSION

A backpropagation neural network is used to locate the operational frequency bands of a MEMS switch-based frequency-reconfigurable antenna. The results show excellent agreement with the experimental values. The developed network can be used to locate the usable frequency bands of the antenna for any combination of switches connecting individual radiating elements of the antenna. This technique drastically reduces the computational complexities involved in the numerical modeling of reconfigurable antennas. The approach can also be extended to the modeling of other reconfigurable structures. ACKNOWLEDGMENT A.
