Abstract

A compact bandpass filtering antenna operating at 5.1 GHz is introduced. The radiation layer makes up of a U-shaped patch and a trident resonator. The U-shaped patch is both the antenna and the last stage of the filter, which is excited by the insertion coupling part of the trident resonator. To improve the impedance matching and lower stopband suppression, a defective ground structure (DGS) is used. The dimension of the antenna is 0.36λ₀×0.36λ₀×0.01λ₀ (λ₀ is the wavelength at 5.1 GHz) without a complex external feed structure, which has enough bandwidth, a good frequency skirt selectivity, and a flat passband response. The measurement results manifest that the impedance bandwidth is 110 MHz, and the peak gain is 3.88 dBi. In addition, the filtering antenna also has a sharp roll-off rate and a satisfactory level of out-of-band suppression in the stopband.
