A novel small signal model of a GaAs PIN diode is developed for circuit simulation. The switch features an on-state insertion loss of less than 1.6dB and a return loss of greater than 10dB while maintaining an off-state isolation of greater than 23dB from 5.5 to 7. 5GHz. The measured 1dB power gain compression point is about 20dBm.展开更多

These SPDT switches achieve an insertion loss of 1.5dB,isolation of 32dB, and input and output return losses over 10dB from 8 to 20GHz. The switch design uses 2.5μm thick I-region GaAs pin diodes and a series-shunt-shunt switch topology in each arm. These performance characteristics are measured at a normal bias setting of 1.3V,which corresponds to 7mA of series diode bias current.展开更多
