Abstract

A CMOS-compatible SOI SP6T cellular antenna switch achieves linearity heretofore requiring more costly sapphire or GaAs substrate materials. The prototype TX path P-o.ids is 41 dBm and harmonics are 79 dBc at 34 dBm output power. A low insertion loss of 0.8 dB and isolation of 40 dB is obtained at 900 MHz.
