Above are the results for return losses. Red colour line
indicates return losses with shorting pin .Green colour line
indicates return losses without shorting pin. Without
shorting pin return losses are obtained at -15.19 and -19.79
dB. Whereas with shorting pin the return losses are obtained
at -17.54 and -25.49 dB. By this it is clear that return losses

From the above polar plots gain total without shorting pin is
5.386 dB and with shorting pin it is 5.44 dB. So, it is clear
that gain total is improved with shorting pin.
