Abstract

Artificial Neural Network Ensemble (NNE) approach has been used in the recent past as objective functions in\nvarious optimization problems. In this paper, an NNE has been used to calculate the optimized resonant frequencies (even\nand odd mode) for an elliptical microstrip patch antenna. Length of major axis is given as an input to the NNE for the given\neccentricity, thickness and dielectric constant of the substrate. At the output of each network, error is calculated by comparing\nthe obtained output with the desired output. The successful application of NNE is depicted in the results obtained proving it\nto be one of the trending optimization approach.
