Abstract :
A CPW-fed slot antenna including pin diodes for multifrequency operation within a frequency octave and more is presented. The use of GaAs beam-lead pin diodes limits the influence of the parasitic resistance and reactance presented by surface mount diodes. The simplicity of the structure results in a simplified and compact biasing circuit
