Takagi-sugeno neuro-fuzzy modeling of a multivariable nonlinear antenna system

Abstract EN

This article investigates the use of a clustered based neuro-fuzzy system to nonlinear dynamic system modeling.

It is focused on the modeling via Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) modeling procedure and the employment of fuzzy clustering to generate suitable initial membership functions.

The T-S fuzzy modeling has been applied to model a nonlinear antenna dynamic system with two coupled inputs and outputs.

Compared to other well-known approximation techniques such as artificial neural networks, the employed neuro-fuzzy system has provided a more transparent representation of the nonlinear antenna system under study, mainly due to the possible linguistic interpretation in the form of rules.

Created initial memberships are then employed to construct suitable T-S models.

Furthermore, the T-S fuzzy models have been validated and checked through the use of some standard model validation techniques (like the correlation functions).

This intelligent modeling scheme is very useful once making complicated systems linguistically transparent in terms of the fuzzy if-then rules.
