AbstractIn recent years, the use of neural networks (NNs) for wireless-communication becoming wider and has been getting momentum. The basic purpose of applying neural network is to change from the lengthy analysis and design cycles required to develop high-performance systems to very short product- development times. There is an overview of different applications of neural network techniques for wireless communication and a description of future research in this field.
The term biological neural networks , made up of real biological neurons, or artificial neural networks, for solving artificial intelligence problems. A biological neural network is composed of a group or groups of chemically connected or functionally associated

IJSEneurons. R

Keywords— Neural networks, applications of neural network, land

I. INTRODUCTION


The term neural network was traditionally used to refer to a network or circuit of biological neurons.

A single neuron may be connected to many other neurons and the total number of neurons and connections in a network may be extensive. It resembles the brain in two respects:
1. Knowledge is acquired by the network through a learning process.
2. Interneuron connection strengths known as synaptic weights are
used to store the experiential knowledge.

substrate) on a ground plane. Patches may be photoetched making them adapted for low-cost, mass production.

A. Antennas

Antenna (radio), also known as an aerial, a transducer designed to transmit or receive electromagnetic (e.g. TV or radio) wave.

Television antenna (or TV aerial), is an antenna specifically designed for the reception of broadcast television signals.

Antennae Galaxies, the name of two colliding galaxies

NGC 4038 and NGC 4039.

3. Multi-band antennas

An antenna designed to operate on several bands. These antennas

often use designs where one part of the antenna is active for one band, and another part is active for a different band. A multiband antenna may have lower than average gain or may be physically larger in compensation.

Antenna array (electromagnetic) a group of isotropic radiators such that the currents running through them are of different amplitudes and phases.

4. Wideband antenna

2. Microstrip antennas

These antennas are popular for low-profile applications at frequencies above 100MHz (λ<3).They commonly consist of a rectangular square metal patch on a thin layer of dielectric (called the
In communications, a system is wideband when the message bandwidth significantly exceeds the coherence bandwidth of the channel. A wideband antenna is one with approximately or exactly the same operating characteristics over a very
wide passband. It is distinguished from broadband antennas,
where the passband is large, but the antenna
gain and/or radiation pattern need not stay the same over the passband.

B.Non-linearity

On observing any wireless engineering phenomenon- the design or
analysis of antennas, estimation of direction of arrival, adaptive beamforming techniques, etc. - it is noted
That these always have a quite nonlinear relationship with their
corresponding input variables. The inherent nonlinearities associated with these phenomena makes them ideally suited for neural networks. Multilayer neural networks are employed to model such nonlinear

by simulation or experimentally. Preprocessing of input and output data sometimes reduces the training time of the network to a large extent.

C. Reduction of Mathematical Complexity

The use of neural networks can considerably reduce the complexity.
A straightforward application of a neural network uses the data
derived from this complex mathematical
Procedures to train a neural network. After proper training, these neural models can be used in place of the computationally intensive physics/EM--based models to speed up the analysis.

Microstrip antenna analysis

ANN can be used efficiently to design of various types microstrip
antenna. In study a comparative evaluation of different variants of back propagation training algorithm has done for the design of
rectangular microstrip antenna. ANN can also be used to calculate different

Parameters of circular microstrip antenna such as resonant frequency, input impedance etc. Sufficient amount of work indicates how ANN can be used efficiently to Design circular and
rectangular microstrip antennas. Also ANN can be used to calculate different parameters of rectangular microstrip antenna such as radiation efficiency, resonating frequency ,directivity ,feed position ,
resonant frequencies of triangular and rectangular microstrip antennas , resonant resistance calculation of electrically thin and thick rectangular microstrip antennas input impedance of rectangular microstrip antennas.

4. Future trends

Recent advances and future applications of NNs include: Integration of fuzzy logic into neural networks

Fuzzy logic is a type of logic that recognizes more than simple true and false values, hence better simulating the real world. For example, the statement today is sunny

might be 100% true if there are no clouds, 80% true if there are a few clouds, 50% true if it's hazy, and 0% true if rains all day. Hence, it takes into account concepts like -usually,
somewhat, and sometimes.

Fuzzy logic and neural networks have been integrated for uses as diverse as automotive engineering, applicant screening for jobs, the control of a crane, and the monitoring of glaucoma.

Sol. It is advisable not to resort to neural network techniques for simple linear functions, or for problems that can be implemented
through a direct, closed-form formula.

propagation of continuous variables from one processing unit to the next. In recent years, data from neurobiological experiments have made it increasingly clear that biological

neural networks, which communicate through pulses, use the timing of the pulses to transmit information and perform computation. This realization has stimulated significant research on pulsed neural networks, including

o Improved stock prediction.

o Common usage of self-driving cars.

o Composition of music.

o Handwritten documents to be automatically transformed

into formatted word processing documents.

o Trends found in the human genome to aid in the understanding of the data compiled by the Human Genome Project.

o Self-diagnosis of medical problems using neural networks.

Conclusions

High-performance antennas are being developed to satisfy the competing demands of emerging wireless applications.This article reviewed the current applications of neural networks in
These high-priority areas, and traced the further avenues in which

IJSEneural networks coRuld play a major role. Recently, the possibility of

Some networks have been hardcoded into chips or analog devices.This technology will become more useful as the networks we use become more complex.

The primary benefit of directly encoding neural networks onto chips or specialized analog devices is SPEED!

NN hardware currently runs in a few niche areas, such as those areas where very high performance is required (e.g. high energy physics) and in embedded applications of simple, hardwired networks (e.g. voice recognition).

Many NNs today use less than 100 neurons and only need occasional training. In these situations, software simulation is usually found sufficient

When NN algorithms develop to the point where useful things can be done with 1000's of neurons and 10000's of synapses, high performance NN hardware will become essential for practical operation.

Improvement of existing technologies

All current NN technologies will most likely be vastly improved upon in the future. Everything from handwriting and speech recognition to stock market prediction will become more sophisticated as researchers develop better training methods and network architectures.

NNs might, in the future, allow:

o Robots that can see, feel, and predict the world around them.

developing antenna designs that in some way exploit the properties of fractals to achieve the goals of compact size, low profile, conformal, and multi-hand antennas, at least in part, has attracted a lot of attention. Neural networks can also find suitable places for analysis of these antennas.
