(IEEE, 2014) Aoad, Ashrf; Aydin, Zafer; Korkmaz, Erdal; 0000-0001-7686-6298; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Bölümü; Aydin, Zafer
This paper presents a tri band 5-fingers shaped microstrip patch antenna, which resonates initially at dual band of 3.2 GHz and 5.2 GHz frequencies for VSWR < 2. The antenna is modified by adding an adjustable resistor between the conductor and the reflecting plane giving a third resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz. A decrease in the return loss at 2.4 GHz is observed by modifying the value of the resistance. Impedance bandwidth and the resonant frequencies are examined with respect to the variability of the parameters of the antenna and the position of the adjustable resistor. The size of the antenna has been reduced by 57.9% in length and 14.06% in width. The proposed antenna can be used for 4G, WLAN, and Wi-MAX The antenna is designed and optimized by using the commercial CST software.

(IEEE, 2015) Aoad, Ashrf; Simsek, Murat; Aydin, Zafer; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Bölümü; Aydin, Zafer
This study presents the use of prior knowledge of inverse artificial neural network (ANN) to model and optimize a reconfigurable N-shaped microstrip antenna. Three accurate prior knowledge inverse ANNs with large amount training data are proposed where the frequency information is incorporated into the structure of ANN. The complexity of the input/output relationship is reduced by using prior knowledge. Three separate methods of incorporating knowledge in the second step of the training process with a multilayer perceptron (MEP) in the first step are demonstrated and their results are compared to EM simulation.
Knowledge based response correction method for design of reconfigurable N-shaped microstrip patch antenna using inverse ANNs
(WILEY, 2017) Aoad, Ashrf; Simsek, Murat; Aydin, Zafer; 0000-0001-7686-6298; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Bölümü; Aydin, Zafer
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been often used for engineering design problems. In this work, an inverse model of a reconfigurable N-shaped microstrip patch antenna which is formed by ANN is considered to find design parameters. For this task, knowledge-based response correction consists of two steps, which include generating response using multilayer perceptron as a first step and correcting this response using knowledge based methods such as source difference, prior knowledge input, and prior knowledge input with difference as a second step. The proposed antenna has four states of operation controlled by two Positive-Intrinsic-Negative (PIN) diodes with ON/OFF states. The two-step ANN models are inversely trained using the optimum of the resonant frequency parameter as the input and the physical dimensions of the proposed antenna as outputs of the multilayer perceptron. The outputs and, in some methods, the input parameters of the multilayer perceptron are sent as input to the knowledge-based models while the obtained outputs from the two steps are the results of the new physical dimensions of the redesigned reconfigurable antenna that will be compared and analyzed. This input/output complexity of the proposed reconfigurable antenna allows an accurate and fast inverse model to be developed with less training data. Users may use this antenna and its ANN models to develop new products in the market where any frequency in the operating region can be given to the input to result an appropriate form of the new reconfigurable antenna.

Knowledge-based modeling has a critical role to embed existing knowledge to improve modeling performance. Since reconfigurable antenna can provide more operational frequencies than the classical antennas, a knowledge-based hybrid structure is used in this work to obtain efficient model and producing optimum new models for a reconfigurable microstrip antenna. The hybrid structure consists of two phases. The first phase generates initial knowledge which is used in knowledge-based modeling structure to obtain design parameters. Artificial neural network based multilayer perceptron can generate necessary knowledge for a knowledge-based model after the training process. Knowledge-based modeling improves the accuracy of the initial model to determine design parameters corresponding to the design target. Source difference, prior knowledge Input and prior knowledge input with difference can be applied to realize an efficient knowledge-based strategy. 3D-EM simulation generates the new model in terms of the design parameters of the proposed application. It has three switching states for operating, which are organized by two resistor circuits representing ON/OFF states. Switch positions and geometrical parameters can be used for satisfying design targets between 1 GHz and 6 GHz for the efficient antenna design.
