Abstract :
A new implementation of the integrated antenna-filter module has been proposed that is based on the single material technology and uses the same substrate for both the antenna and filter layers. An X band device has been designed on the low permittivity substrate and examined for X band operation. This example proves the feasibility of achieving a well-defined filtering response and proper radiation performance through simple and compact integrated modules.
