“…As for the measured results, a gain of 3 dBi is obtained for the proposed DCPW-fed filtering TCM. - Regarding stopband efficiency, it is observed that an average improvement of 37.8% is accomplished using the proposed design. A maximum suppression level of −41 dB is achieved by the proposed design, and an average of −18 dB is maintained throughout the stopband frequency range.
- In comparison to the literature, 2.4% (Zebao et al , 2014), 10.97% (Li et al , 2018), 58.5% (Biswas et al , 2013), 43.9% (Liu et al , 2021b), 68.8% (Hou et al , 2021), 65.8% (Yun et al , 2021), 8.5% (Ali et al , 2006), 59.8% (Yun et al , 2020) and 60.9% (Pan et al , 2018) of improvement is observed for −41 dB suppression. Besides, Zebao et al (2014) show −40 dB suppression, and Ali et al (2006) show a peak suppression of −50 dB, which is 18% higher than the proposed filtering antenna.
- Concerning stopband performance, the proposed design shows a stopband efficiency of +12.2 GHz.
