Abstract

This article implements an artificial neural network to find, through computer simulation, the excitations of a square planar array. The array is composed of 52 uniformly spaced subarrays, and has a quasi- in its radiation diagram. This simulation model includes the reduction of any signal interference in the shaped radiating zone after its position has been determined.
