"Soft Computing" Methods in Microwave Active Device Modeling

In this work, the signal and noise behaviors of a microwave transistor within its operation domain (CT,VDS, IDS, f) are modeled by the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic System (FLS) without using any information on the microwave circuit theory . A worked example is presented where the same data is employed for both models selected from the manufacturer's data sheets. Performances of the FLS and ANN models are compared and conclusions are drawn.
