This article presents an integrated technique for reconfigurable substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and reconfigurable patch antenna by using the varactor diodes. A reconfigurable SIW filter and reconfigurable patch antenna were integrated using the multilayer technique into a single structure in order to realize the integration technique. Design and validation of an equivalent circuit with the varactor diode is presented to study the tunable mechanism. A good performance between the simulated and measured results was achieved. This proposed structure of the reconfigurable integrated SIW filter and antenna is useful for wireless communication systems especially in telecommunication technology.
