The Application of Microwave Ceramic in Filter-Antenna Module for WLAN System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the simulation and measurement results of a filter-antenna module for application in WLAN band are presented. The filter-antenna module is fabricated on microwave ceramic substrate. The filter-antenna module is consisted of a monopole antenna, two U-shaped microstrip half wavelength resonators, and a tapped open stub. The proposed filter-antenna module has good agreement between the measurement and the simulation results. At center frequency, electromagnetic coupling between two half-wavelength resonators and inverted-L shaped microstrip feed line occurs and contributes the radiation. At the harmonic frequency, the currents are mainly distributed around the tapped open stub. The proposed filter-antenna module has a 10 dB return loss with bandwidth 290 MHz (2,337 - 2,627 MHz), covering the WLAN band.
