Abstract

This paper presents a compact package, comprising a wideband antenna with a compact spatial-notch filter, useful for RF applications requiring a high rate of data transfer. Fractal concepts are employed to help reduce the package to almost half the normal size, and to realize a much sharper band-stop than would be possible with a conventional filter. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
