The Investigation of PIN diode switch on reconfigurable antenna

The investigation and simulation of PIN diode as a switch on reconfigurable antenna are described in this paper. The simulation of the PIN diode model is constructed on CST Simulation tools with the integration of single patch antenna. The radial stub biasing circuit is used for fabrication with the antenna. Three different locations of PIN diode with radial stubs biasing circuit are investigated and analyzed. The result shows the separation of biasing circuit and antenna give a better performance in term of return loss and current distribution.
