Abstract :
An original new design of microwave LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) structure integrating a resonator and a patch antenna on a single device is presented. The structure is composed of a U-shape resonator that is magnetically coupled to the patch antenna. In order to validate the radiant structure concept, a two pole filter is designed using both the resonator resonance and the patch antenna one. Experimental results presented in this paper validate this very compact structure design
