Abstract :
In this study cylindrical microstrip patch array modified neural multiple source tracking algorithm (CMN-MUST) is proposed. CMN-MUST implements previously reported modified neural multiple source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST). CMN-MUST algorithm uses the advantage of directive pattern of microstrip patch elements by considering only a part of array elements for a chosen sector. This reduces neural network sizes and also improves the spatial filtering performance. The proposed algorithm improves MN-MUST algorithm in the sense of accuracy and speed while covering the full azimuth range.
