This paper proposes a reconfigurable microstrip diplexer, also known as a switchplexer, for use with single-switch operation of frequency band and output path. The proposed switchplexer is composed of a rectangular ring resonator and a switch on a shorting pin, which is inserted between the ring resonator and the ground plane. The rotated main current distributions occurring at different switch statuses provide the diplexer's different operating bands and different output ports. The performance of the simply designed switchplexer is successfully demonstrated via simulation and measurement.
