Speech Title: Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Filtennas and Their Applications
Abstract: Filtenna is a kind of dual-function antenna which can realize both in-band radiation and out-of-band suppression. It can be used to reduce the interference among multi-band antennas with close spacing. In this talk, the design methods for various filtennas will be introduced firstly. Then, this talk will introduce their applications to aperture-shared Sub-6GHz base-station arrray, multi-band vehicle-borne antenna systems and millimeter AiP array. It has been verified that the isolation between filtennas operating at different frequencies are enhanced. Finally, a conclusion is drawn and future work is discussed.
