Abstract :
This letter presents the development of an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based model for predicting the performance of a pyramidal and a conical corrugated horn antennas. Different ANFIS-based models were developed. Using these models, horn return-loss characteristics and radiation patterns (copolarization and cross-polarization) can be obtained with great accuracy for any combination of design parameters. The results obtained using ANFIS models were compared to that of the commercial horn antenna design software and found in close agreement. The advantage of the proposed method lies with the fact that, with less time and minimum computational resources, the return-loss and radiation characteristics of a horn antenna under test can be obtained with high degree of accuracy.
