This paper presents the design and results of a dual-band antenna array integrated with bandpass filters for WLAN applications. The array is fed with a single 50 Ω port and consists of two radiating elements; thereby having a 1x2 array structure. The two bands of the antenna array correspond to the two WLAN bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. A standalone array has first been designed. Other than the two fundamental resonant frequencies, the standalone array exhibits spurious harmonics at various other frequencies. For the suppression of these harmonics, the array has been integrated with two bandpass filters, centered at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The resulting filtenna array was simulated, fabricated and measured. Obtained simulation and measurement results agree well with each other and have been presented to validate the accuracy of the proposed structure. Measured return loss of the structure shows dual-bands at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz of more than 30 dB each and also a successful suppression of the spurious harmonics of the antenna array has been achieved. Radiation patterns have also been simulated and measured and both results shown. The gain and efficiency have also been presented; with the values being 6.7 dBi and 70% for the 2.4 GHz band and 7.4 dBi and 81% for the 5.8 GHz band respectively.

Presented are the design and results of a reconfigurable UWB filtenna with sharp dual bandnotch at WiMAX 3.5 GHz and WLAN 5.8 GHz bands. The filtenna is formed by placing three loop resonators in an UWB antenna. The resonators are fitted with Graphene based switches which introduce reconfigurability. The filtenna was simulated electromagnetically and with Graphene based switches in switches OFF and switches ON states. Presented results show a passband from 2.81–12.27 GHz in OFF state and ON state results in sharp dual bandnotch within the passband at 3.45 and 5.95 GHz at a return loss of 2–2.5 dB. The gain and efficiency in both states has also been given and is reduced in ON state at the dual bandnotch. The radiation patterns in E- and H-planes are stable.

This paper presents the layout and results of a compact inkjet-printed filtenna operating at the S-band, ISM and UWB frequencies. The filtenna has a wide passband and, alongside, rejects WiMAX 3.5 GHz, WLAN 5.8 GHz and ITU service 8.2 GHz bands. The filtenna is simulated, printed using silver nanoparticle ink on flexible Kapton substrate and measured. Obtained simulation and measurement results agree well with each other. Measured return loss of the filtenna is more than 10 dB for 1.6–10.85 GHz and triple bandnotch, measuring at an average of 1.87 dB, are present at the unwanted bands. Radiation patterns, as well as the gain and efficiency of the filtenna have also been presented; with the average values being 3.4 dBi and 90 % respectively for the passband and averaging at −1.0 dBi and 22 % respectively for the three rejected bands.
