A new reconfigurable frequency cavity compatible with planar technology has been designed, manufactured and measured. An original tuning solution is proposed, based upon the insertion of vertical capacitive posts integrated within SIW cavities. One extremity of each post is connected to a floating metallic ring, located on the substrate supporting the SIW cavity. The frequency agility is obtained once the metallic ring is connected to the ground plane by short-circuited the corresponding annular slot using surface actuators. Such combination of volumetric cavity and planar activation leads to reconfigurable filters with high Q values and simplified tuning control conditions
