This work introduces a novel frequency tunable self-diplexing antenna (SDA) design based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. A modified A-shaped slot is employed on the cavity’s top plane, which is excited by two independent 50 Ω microstrip feed lines to operate at each resonant frequency. The frequency flexibility of the proposed antenna allows for fine-tuning at each resonance frequency. The frequency flexibility has been achieved by employing the substrate’s air- and liquid-filled pockets. The proposed antenna can be configured to operate in the 3.5-3.8 GHz and 5.53-6.2 GHz bands, as demonstrated by the simulation results. With distilled water-filled pockets, the proposed antenna offers peak gains of 5.04 dBi and 5.26 dBi. The proposed SDA exhibits competitive features such as a highly compact size of 0.22λg2 and high isolation (>27dB), which makes it suitable for handheld communication devices. The simulated and measured circuit responses are in good agreement.
