Abstract :
A compact, low loss and mass producible antenna filter is proposed. The radiating element consists of a microstrip patch. Waveguide feeding ensures low loss. Coupling with the antenna is achieved via a slot in the ground plane, maintaining the simplicity of the structure. In order to avoid any complicated transitions, an E-plane filter is integrated in the waveguide. Simulated and experimental results at X-band are presented to validate the argument.
