Abstract :
This paper presents a novel concept of a reconfigurable antenna operating in K band for applications in Doppler motion sensors. A novel concept of a low-cost filter-type microwave switch with PIN diodes has been proposed in which high-parasitic PIN diodes not normally destined for operation in 24 GHz frequency band are successfully used.
