Abstract :
In this paper, we explore the idea of designing wideband BPFs by utilizing two identical wideband antennas. The tapered slot antenna is used for this purpose. In the proposed filter, two compact tapered slot antennas with CPW feedlines are connected in the face- to-face configuration to construct a BPF. The success of the proposed concept is demonstrated via full-wave electromagnetic simulations.
