This paper presents an overview of the recent achievements in the development of novel microwave components and antennas for the future Internet of Things (IoT), based on the use of innovative materials and manufacturing technologies. In particular, the development of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structures is discussed, based on the use of paper substrates for eco-friendly wireless systems, textile materials for wearable applications, and 3D-printed substrates for the implementation of fully-3D and cost-effective components. A number of prototypes, based on the different materials, are reported and discussed, to show the variety of structures and potentials of integrated microwave systems in future wireless devices for IoT applications.
