Abstract

The design, fabrication, and performance of high performance reflect type DC-20 GHz single-pole single-throw (SPST) and single-pole double-throw (SPDT) MMIC switches are described in this paper. Low insertion loss (/spl les/2.5 dB), low input/output VSWR (/spl les/1.4), and high isolation (/spl ges/47 dB) over DC to 20 GHz band are exhibited. The SPST switch's chip size is 2.6 mm/spl times/1.1 mm/spl times/0.1 mm, and the SPDT switch's chip size is 3.5 mm/spl times/1.3 mm/spl times/0.1 mm. These chips were fabricated by an ion implanted MMIC process and PCM technology to ensure a high yield and good uniformity between wafers and chips.
