A Simple Monopole Antenna with a Switchable Beam for 5G Millimeter-Wave Communication Systems

A simple and compact antenna with a switchable beam for millimeter-wave communication is proposed in this paper. The antenna has a planar structure, and the design evolution is discussed. The beam switching functionality was achieved by incorporating two PIN diodes in the ground plane of the antenna...
