Abstract

A hybrid empirical-neural (HEN) model, to account for a loading effect of arbitrary raised dielectric slab in a microwave cylindrical metallic cavity, is presented. It is based on combination of an approximate model, as a rough empirical knowledge holder, and multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) neural network. In comparison with the model based only on MLP network, more accurate and efficient resonant frequencies calculation is achieved.
