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
