Abstract
This article presents a method to design new diplexer-integrated single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches for composite time division duplexing (TDD) and frequency division duplexing (FDD) requirements. The common fractal stub-loaded resonator (F-SLR) is employed to provide four magnetic coupling paths to introduce the mixed electric and magnetic coupling (MEMC) for every channel. Together with the cross-couplings, the ON-state channel with high selectivity bandpass response can be achieved. As examples, a third-order diplexer-integrated SPDT switch and a fourth-order diplexer-integrated SPDT switch operating at 0.9/1.8 GHz are designed and fabricated. These two diplexer-integrated SPDT switches have three major operating modes, i.e., the 0.9-GHz bandpass filter (BPF)-integrated SPDT switch operating mode, the 1.8-GHz BPF-integrated SPDT switch operating mode, and the 0.9-/1.8-GHz diplexer-integrated SPDT switch operating mode. In the design, the loaded positions of p-i-n diodes on the uniform impedance resonators of 0.9-GHz channel are optimized to improve the OFF-state rejection bandwidth. Measured results also show that these two diplexer-integrated SPDT switches have low ON-state passband insertion loss, high port-to-port isolation, and compact circuit size.
