Abstract

In recent years, Artificial Neural networks (ANNs) have been intensively employed to build smart model of microwave devices. In this paper a characterization of lossy SIW resonators by means of Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLPNNs) on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), is presented. Once properly selected and trained, a MLPNN can evaluate the lossy SIW resonator's resonant frequency f_r and the pertaining quality factor Q at a shorter time than the full-wave rigorous model. In this way, fast parametric models of SIWstructures to employ for the design and optimization of microwave devices, exploiting the computational power of GPUs, can be obtained.
