The term filtenna [1] refers to a class of microwave components that, being able to perform both filtering and radiation operations, have been widely investigated for reducing the cost and space occupancy of a microwave system. In most cases, filtennas are designed by inserting a filtering element with a frequency-dependent behavior in the structure of a standard antenna. Given their wide operation bandwidth, which often exceeds the required one, waveguides and horn antennas have been extensively used for this purpose [1] - [3]. Moreover, by properly choosing the topology of the filtering element and by loading it with non-linear elements, the polarization state and power level of the incoming wave can be used as further discriminating characteristics between signals [3] - [4].

Abstract
The term filtenna [1] refers to a class of microwave components that, being able to perform both filtering and radiation operations, have been widely investigated for reducing the cost and space occupancy of a microwave system. In most cases, filtennas are designed by inserting a filtering element with a frequency-dependent behavior in the structure of a standard antenna. Given their wide operation bandwidth, which often exceeds the required one, waveguides and horn antennas have been extensively used for this purpose [1] - [3]. Moreover, by properly choosing the topology of the filtering element and by loading it with non-linear elements, the polarization state and power level of the incoming wave can be used as further discriminating characteristics between signals [3] - [4].I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
