Abstract: Here, a new idea to speed up the operation of
complex valued time delay neural networks is presented. The whole
data are collected together in a long vector and then tested as a one
input pattern. The proposed fast complex valued time delay neural
networks uses cross correlation in the frequency domain between the
tested data and the input weights of neural networks. It is proved
mathematically that the number of computation steps required for
the presented fast complex valued time delay neural networks is less
than that needed by classical time delay neural networks. Simulation
results using MATLAB confirm the theoretical computations.
