  • Abstract
    A novel design for a passive microwave filter is presented. The filter consists of a stacked array of low loss dielectric layers, whose permittivity profile alters in a near sinusoidal manner. The radiation property of the filter is investigated for both co- and crosspolarisation and it is shown that the filter acts as an apodiser and a beam shaper.
