Interest in the use of microwave equipment for breast imagery is on the increase owing to its safety, ease of use and friendlier cost. However, some of the pertinent blights of the design and optimization of microwave antenna include intensive consumption of computing resources, high price of software acquisition and very large optimization time. This paper therefore attempts to address these concerns by devising a rapid means of designing and optimizing the performance of a 1×4 array of circular microwave patch antenna for breast imagery applications by deploying the adaptive gradient descent algorithm (AGDA) for a circumspectly designed artificial neural network. In order to cross validate the findings of this work, the results obtained using the adaptive gradient descent algorithm was compared with those obtained with the deployment of the much reported Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for the same dataset over same frequency range and training constraints. Analysis of the performance of the AGDA neural network shows that the approach is a viable and accurate technique for rapid design and analysis of arrays of circular microwave patch antenna for breast imaging.
