Abstract
This paper proposes and demonstrates a compact integrated filtering antenna built on a square ring resonator coupled with a capacitors loaded microstrip line filter. A microstrip filter module is connected to feeding line of the conventional patch without adding extra space. Thus, the combined configuration possesses radiating and filtering functions simultaneously. The proposed filtenna has a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 3% at center frequency 2.4 GHz with 2.5 dB of maximum gain. The obtained result shows that the proposed design shows good stopband gain rejection, good selectivity at band edges, and smooth passband gain. Furthermore, the introduced filtenna has advantages of a small size and a simple structure, which makes it ideal for interconnection with different wearable devices operating within 2.4 GHz wireless system range.
