where f is a sigmoid or hyperbolic tangent function. The output of neurons in the output layer is
computed similarly.
Training a network consists of adjusting weights of the network using a learning algorithm. The
Back-Propagation [14] learning algorithm is used in this study. It is a gradient descent algorithm
that gives the change

where x

As there are no target outputs for hidden neurons in Eq. (4), the dierence between the target
and actual output of a hidden neuron j is replaced by the weighted sum of the
q
terms already
obtained for neurons q connected to the output of j. Thus, iteratively beginning with the output
layer, the term is computed for all neurons in all layers except the input layer and weights were
then updated according to Eq. (2).
In the training of neural network, gradient descent with adaptive learning rate algorithm is used
and K-fold cross-validation is used for the test result to be more valuable [15, 16]. We used this
method for nding the best ANN architecture. After training and test phase, the mean absolute
error (MAE) and mean square error (MSE) calculation given in Eq. (5) and Eq. (6) was used as
performance criterion. Expressions in Eqs. (5)(8) can be suggested for dierent ANN applications.
In this study Eq. (9) was arranged aiming to compare other literature studies.

In addition, the test results satisfying the minimum errors were subjected to r-square correlation

4. DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
In this study, for an antenna that was designed on Rexolite 2200 dielectric substrate (
r
= 2.62,
h = 1.6, 3.2 and 4.7 mm) and had three dierent patch dimensions (14.1, 13.5 and 13 mm) the eects
of etching U slots about the bandwidth were investigated [18, 19]. While designing the circular disc,
classic circular disc antenna formulas and design steps n the literature were used [4]. The U-slot
designs were simulated with HFSS software and from S
11
graphics in dB; bandwidth values were
taken [20]. For each time, only one parameter was changed systematically and searched the eect
of each dimension on bandwidth of the antenna. At rst, L
s
was changed between 4.29 and 24 mm
with 1 mm steps. L
b
was tested for 4, 6 and 8 mm values. The best results were taken for 8 mm,
so for later designs it was taken constant and other parameters were changed in order. T
s
and T
b
dimensions were changed between 0.5 and 2 mm with 1 mm steps, and then the best results were
taken for T
s
= 0.5 and T
b
= 1 mm values.
At the end of simulations, 63 data were produced. 2 experimental data from literature were
added to them and the whole data set has 65 elements. 20% of this set is left for testing and the
rest of the data are used for training. The experimental data are in the training set. The inputs
were L
s
, L
b
, T
s
, T
b
,
r
and h. The bandwidth was the ANN output. Consequently, the number of
nodes for input ANN and output ANN were formed as 6 and 1, respectively. The developed ANN
structure included one hidden layer. MLP feed forward back-propagation was used as an ANN
structure. Hidden layer node numbers of optimum ANN structure was found as 12, experimentally.
For this hidden node, minimum training and test errors were obtained.

5. RESULTS
Simulation results show if L
s
1.45r, for all three patch dimensions, large bandwidths are obtained.
When L
s
is increasing, the bandwidth increases, too, but for the resonant frequency, there is a small
shifting toward to lower values. For T
b
= 0.5 mm and T
b
= 1 mm, the bandwidth is enhanced to
better results. In the training, rst a scan process for nding the best hidden node number and best
iteration number was run random search where the iteration number is adjusted from 500 to 10000
with 500 intervals and the hidden nodes number is adjusted from 3 to 30. After this process, the
iteration number and node number of hidden layer was found to be 9500 and 12, respectively, while
initial learning coecient of the network as = 0.9, initial momentum coecient adjusting the
learning speed as = 0.7 was selected. In Table 1, ANN test parameters of circular disc antennas
and results are given.
The mean square errors of training and testing at the best ANN architecture were found to be
1.11% and 0.62%, respectively. Correlation analysis was performed. The results of this analysis of
train and test phase were found to be r
2
= 0.89 and 0.958, respectively. The above given average
error and average correlation values of testing and training phases versus iteration number were
determined by the help of measured and simulated antenna bandwidths for U-slot circular disc
antennas and developed ANN model outputs, and they were presented graphically in Figure 2,
the correlation between outputs of ANN and simulation outputs are given for testing and training,
respectively.
6. CONCLUSION
By etching U slot on conventional circular disc microstrip patch antennas in the literature an
enhancement for bandwidth of them is carried out. There can be more applicable antennas designed
by giving some sacricing from the resonant frequency. From the analysis of simulation and ANN
results, it is seen that U-slot loaded disk patch exhibit wide bandwidth characteristics and the
antenna bandwidth depends on the various parameters of U-slot.
In the training of neural network, K-fold cross-validation is used for test results to be more
valuable. The measurement values obtained from experimental studies and the results of trained
and tested ANN model are compatible with each other in great proportion. The accuracy ratios
of training and testing stages in obtained optimum ANN were found to be 93.28% and 94.19%,
respectively. Our subsequent studies will be about the measuring of simulation bandwidths and
some other parameters like resonant frequencies and radiation patterns, experimentally.
