A multi-filtenna system is provided that effectively combines an antenna element and a filter element in a compact design while concurrently providing adequate port isolation, a low ECC, a low insertion loss (and a corresponding high efficiency) and a similar radiation pattern for each antenna element in order to allow for multi-channel beam forming. A multi-filtenna system includes a plurality of filtennas disposed in parallel proximate one another. Each filtenna includes a port, one or more resonator sections coupled to one another and a radiating resonator. The one or more resonator sections are disposed between the port and the radiating resonator. Each of the plurality of filtennas are configured to communicate via the port and to operate at the same frequency.
