Discone antenna design using artificial neural network

In recent years, with the growth of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) system technology, broadband antenna industry has a big development. Design of UWB antennas with linear phase response, enabling high speed data transfer, low power requirements and low production costs made these antennas popular in military and civilian areas. One of the UWB antenna is discone antenna. Discone antenna is an omnidirectional antenna and basically consist of three parts as disc, cone, insulator and thanks to low profile, these antennas used for many applications. In this work, a discone antenna was designed using artificial neural networks. While doing this, sysnthesis is defined as the forward side and then analysis as the reverse side of the problem.
