Abstract:
A radio frequency switch circuit with improved harmonic suppression and low insertion loss has an antenna port and a plurality of signal ports. A plurality of transistor switch circuits, are connected to a respective one of the plurality of signal ports and to the antenna port. Each of the transistor switch circuits has a transistor, which in an off state, together with a harmonic suppression capacitor and a parallel inductor both connected thereto, define a tank circuit that suppresses RF signals applied to the corresponding transistor switch circuit from a different one of the transistor switch circuits. The harmonic suppression capacitor is tuned to distribute large signal voltage swings in the RF signal amongst parasitic diodes of the transistor.
