Which RF PIN diode part is suitable for re configurable antenna(Frequency band 1GHz to 6GHz).Please suggest a part number which is easily available and low cost.
Skyworks manufactures several suitable diodes, such as SMP1321 series PIN diodes.
See:

I've used these diodes at 10 GHz, with good results.
Pl mention the peak RF power fed to antenna port from source and maximum VSWR expected.
I of course assumed this was for a receiving antenna handling small signal power.
BAR50-02... is the very low-cost one, but I think its performance is poor at higher-band (e.g. 5-6 GHz). You may try it.
P.S. If you have any progress, please share your experience. Thanks in advanced.
Sir,
This is for prototyping in the communication equipment.Yes of course for receiver handling small power.
