This paper presents a new microstrip dual-mode closed-loop resonator (DMCLR) that is used to design lower insertion loss and better transmission dual-passband filtering antenna. The dual passband center frequencies of the presented filtering antenna are located at foI=5.52 GHz and foII= 6.65 GHz. The presented dual-mode, dual-passband microstrip filtering antenna results are simulated and optimized by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software and defected ground structure technique. Three modes of dual-mode resonators have been utilized to design the dual- passband microstrip filtering antenna and compare their results. The presented dual-mode, dual-passband microstrip filtering antenna is established on FR-4 epoxy dielectric material which has a relative permittivity εr= 4.3 which has height thickness h = 1.6 mm and loss tangent tan δ=0.002. Defected Ground Structure (DGS) technique has been utilized to improve the performance of the presented dual-mode, dual-passband microstrip filtering antenna.
This paper presents a new design of the filtering antenna with a quasi-elliptic function response. The basic structure of the proposed filtering antenna is consists of a four-folded arms open-loop resonator (OLR). The proposed filtering antenna is simulated, improved and, analyzed by using 3D Computer Simulation Technology (CST) electromagnetic simulator software. The design has good spurious harmonic suppression in the upper and lower stopbands. The Insertion Loss of the proposed filtering antenna IL=0.2 dB and the Return Loss RL= -25.788 dB at the center frequency fo=5.75 GHz. The passband bandwidth which is relatively wide, and equal to 0.793 GHz. The microstrip filtering antenna circuit shows good design results compared to the conventional microstrip patch antenna. The filtering antenna design circuit with etched ground plane structure also has good design results compared to the filtering antenna design which has a complete ground plane structure.
