Abstract
Monolithic GaAs SPDT switches operating from dc to 40 GHz and 20 to 40 GHz have been demonstrated. The switches use MESFETs with the same characteristics as a mm-wave amplifier to allow for ease of integration in the future. The gate length is 0.35 microns, and ion implanted material is used. The 20-40 GHz switch uses a combination of shunt FETs and quarter-wave transformers. Better than 2 dB insertion loss and 25 dB isolation have been achieved. The dc-40 GHz switch uses a combination of series and shunt FETs. Better than 3 dB insertion loss and 23 dB isolation have been achieved. Power handling and switching speed have also been measured for both switch types.
