This work reports on an efficient design methodology for realizing hybrid filter-antenna subsystems. Designing a filter-antenna\nsubsystem in the case of complex multimode filter is not straightforward. The coupling of the antenna with a multimode filter\ndepends upon several uncorrelated parameters. An efficient design methodology is proposed which can address these complex\nproblems. The work focuses on the characterization of radiating and filtering elements and then proposes a reliable model, which\nis derived mathematically as well as from rigorous statistical analyses, which can then be used for designing hybrid filter-antenna\nstructures such as a hybrid DRA codesigned with a SIW based multimode filter. A highly compact filter-antenna subsystem has\nbeen designed employing the proposed methodology, and the measured results validate the proposed design technique.
