            Abstract : 
This paper deals with a new concept of filtering antenna. We set up a methodology for designing a filtering antenna based on electromagnetism-circuit joint simulation. We start from a E plane filter which we set up in a electromagnetic horn. We show that is still possible to keep control of both the filtering pattern and the radiating pattern.
