  • Abstract
    A switchable patch antenna is designed to provide polarization and pattern diversities. The performance of the device is predicted using a commercial simulator including a pin diode modelling and an optimisation procedure of the switched loads based on an equivalent flow graph. Measurements of the correlation factor and the diversity gain in an indoor environment are performed using a dedicated platform.
