A Novel Evolutionary Feedforward Neural Network with Artificial Immunology

A hybrid algorithm to design the multi-layer feedforward neural network was proposed. Evolutionary programming is used to design the network that makes the training process tending to global optima. Artificial im-munology combined with simulated annealing algorithm is used to specify the initial weight vectors, therefore im-proves the probabiligy of training algorithm to converge to global optima. The applications of the neural network in the modulation-style recognition of analog modulated rader signals demonstrate the good performance of the network.     

A Novel Algorithm Based on 3D-MUSIC Algorithm for Localizing Near-Field Source

A novel 3-D MUSIC algorithm based on the classical 3D-MUSIC algorithm for the location of near-field source was presented. Under the far-field assumption of actual near-field, two algebraic relations of the location parameters between the actual near-field sources and the far-field ones were derived. With Fourier transformation and polynomial-root methods, the elevation and the azimuth of the far-field were obtained, the tracking paths can be developed, and the location parameters of the near-field source can be determined, then the more accurate resuits can be estimated using an optimization method. The computer simulation results prove that the algorithm for the location of the near-fields is more accurate, effective and suitable for real-time applications.
