In this paper, substrate integrated waveguide based filtenna operating at X band is proposed. The model is designed on a low-loss dielectric substrate having a thickness of 1.6 mm and comprises shorting vias along two edges of the substrate walls. To realize a bandpass filter, secondary shorting vias are placed close to primary shorting vias. The dimension and position of the vias are carefully analyzed for X band frequencies. The model is fabricated on Roger RT/duroid 5880 and the performance characteristics are measured. The proposed model achieves significant impedance characteristics with wider bandwidth in the X band. The model also achieves a maximum gain of 7.46 dBi in the operating band, thus making it suitable for X band applications.
