Design of Substrate IntegratedWaveguide Power Divider and Parameter optimization using Neural Network

Motivated by the key technology Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) and an effective approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this paper aims at the design of an SIW based power divider for low return loss using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). A 15GHz SIW based power divider is presented, and parameters are optimized using error back-propagation in ANN. Results achieved shows how one can take help of ANN to make the design more efficient and faster by reducing the number of simulation, As we know that simulation time is a major issue in SIW components. In this paper, presented SIW based power divider is designed using T-junction configuration possess return loss of -31.72 dB and output power equality achieved is 3.39 dB and 3.40 dB at port 2 and 3 respectively at the designed frequency.
