Abstract

In this paper, a filtering antenna using a dual-mode resonator is presented. The rectangular patch performs not only as a radiator, but also as the last resonator of the bandpass filter. The dual-mode resonator works together with the patch antenna to form a third order bandpass filter with Chebyshev responses. The filtering antenna exhibits good performance, such as skirt selectivity, flat gain within the passband, and high out-of-band suppression.
