This manuscript proposes a Filtenna operating in the frequency range of 5.15-5.35 GHz for possible application in wireless local area network (WLAN). Initially, a monopole antenna consisting of a square loop radiating patch is designed at 5.2 GHz and is integrated into a bandpass filter (BPF) with centre frequency of 5.2 GHz. Within the proposed frequency band of operation, the filtenna exhibits omni-directional radiation pattern, good selectivity and low reflection loss. Also, the VSWR observed is less than 2 and peak antenna gain is approximately 2.5 dBi within the frequency range. A consistency is obtained between the simulation and the experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
