Abstract:
An integrated module with filtering and radiation
performance realized by covering substrate integrated waveguide
(SIW) cavity frequency selective surface (FSS) at aperture of
horn antenna has been investigated in this paper. The module
has functions of bandpass filter and horn antenna, so it is called
a “filtering antenna” (filtenna). It is very suitable for applications
in military platforms where FSS is used for antennas and radars’
radar cross section (RCS) reduction. The filtenna is simulated
and optimized with CST software and its performance is verified
by experiments. From simulated and measured results it can
be found that the proposed structure keeps characteristics of
return loss, radiation pattern and gain of the horn antenna within
desired frequency band, meanwhile presents effective reflection to
interference signals at out-band. Using this structure the volume
and cost of communication systems in military platforms can be
effectively reduced.
