Numerical Analysis of Modeling Based on Improved Elman Neural Network

Abstract EN

A modeling based on the improved Elman neural network (IENN) is proposed to analyze the nonlinear circuits with the memory effect.

The hidden layer neurons are activated by a group of Chebyshev orthogonal basis functions instead of sigmoid functions in this model.

The error curves of the sum of squared error (SSE) varying with the number of hidden neurons and the iteration step are studied to determine the number of the hidden layer neurons.

Simulation results of the half-bridge class-D power amplifier (CDPA) with two-tone signal and broadband signals as input have shown that the proposed behavioral modeling can reconstruct the system of CDPAs accurately and depict the memory effect of CDPAs well.

Compared with Volterra-Laguerre (VL) model, Chebyshev neural network (CNN) model, and basic Elman neural network (BENN) model, the proposed model has better performance.
