Abstract
This paper presents a millimeter-wave Integrated Substrate Gap Waveguide
(ISGW) filtering antenna with four controllable radiation nulls, two on
each of its upper and lower stop bands. These radiation nulls can be
adjusted by manipulating the dimensions of the stepped-impedance
resonators (SIRs), complementary U-slots, and passive coplanar parasitic
patches. This filtering antenna has the advantages of separately
controllable radiation nulls and flexible adjustment of selectivity and
gain curve roll-off. The simulation results demonstrate that the antenna
operates at a center frequency of 25.4 GHz, with a relative bandwidth of
14.3% (23.76-27.04 GHz), and achieves a realizable average gain of 7.6
dBi.
