Abstract

This paper presents a novel kind of patch antenna with high-selectivity filtering responses and high-gain radiation performance. The proposed antenna is mainly composed of a driven patch and a stacked patch, with its entire height being 0.09λ. Three shorting pins and a U-slot are embedded in the driven patch to enhance out-of-band suppression levels and skirt selectivity near the lower band-edge, whereas the stacked patch provides a sharp roll-off rate at the upper band-edge and also an enhanced gain. Without using extra filtering circuits, the proposed antenna exhibits a quasi-elliptic boresight gain response with three radiation nulls. For demonstration, an antenna is implemented covering the LTE band (2.3-2.7 GHz). The antenna achieves an average gain of 9.7 dBi within passband, and out-of-band suppression levels of more than 21 dB.
