Such a use of ANNs for estimating the patch dimensions of a microstrip line feed rectangular microstrip patch antennas has been presented in this paper. An ANN model has been devel- oped and tested for rectangular patch antenna design. The performance of the neural network has been com- pared with the simulated values obtained from IE3D EM Simulator. It transforms the data containing the di- electric constant (ε), thickness of the substrate (h), and antenna’s dominant-mode resonant frequency (f ) to r r the patch dimensions i.e. length (L) and width (W) of the patch. The different variants of back propagation training algorithm of MLFFBP-ANN (Multilayer feed forward back propagation Artificial Neural Network) and RBF-ANN (Radial basis function Artificial Neural Network) has been used to implement the network model. The results obtained from artificial neural
