A compound reconfigurable microstrip antenna has been analyzed and designed using switching a PIN diode to switch between different modes of operating frequencies as well as radiation pattern directions. In this paper, computer simulation technology (CST) software 2020 has been used. Due to the complex calculation of the circular microstrip patch antenna, the proposed design has reduced the complexity by using a structure that is compact, easy to fabricate, cheap to produce, and uses only one PIN diode, while maintaining peak antenna performance. The suggested design is appropriate to operate in two states conditional on biasing the PIN diode. The reconfigurable patch of 31.16 mm × 27.04 mm has a compact size with 1.6 mm of thickness. It functions in both the C band at 7.1 GHz with a shift of radiation pattern direction to 4 degrees and in the Ku band at 12.5 GHz with a shift of radiation pattern direction to 28 degrees in state 2 where the PIN diode is on the state. In addition, the ON and OFF state of the switching PIN diode has been extensively investigated by changing the resistance, inductance, and capacitance values for optimal antenna performance. The proposed reconfigurable circular patch can be implemented to operate in modern communication such as Radio navigation and earth exploration, space operation, earth-to-space satellite communication, 5G applications, and Wireless-Fidelity 7.
