    摘要: A second transistor (2b), which is turned on when a first transistor (2a) is turned off, is shunt-connected between a first transmission line (3a) and a second transmission line (3b). A fourth transistor (2d), which is turned off when a third transistor (2c) is turned on, is shunt-connected between a third transmission line (3c) and a fourth transmission line (3d). Each of a common terminal transmission line (3e), the first and second transmission lines (3a and 3b), and the third and fourth transmission lines (3c and 3d) is set to have an electrical length of a quarter wavelength at the center frequency of an input signal. The first transistor (2a) and the third transistor (2c) are complementary turned on and off, and characteristic impedances of the common terminal transmission line (3e), the first transmission line (3a), and the third transmission line (3c) are set to be lower than those of peripheral circuits.

    摘要: A novel RF switch circuit and method for switching RF signals is described. The RF switch circuit is fabricated in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The RF switch includes pairs of switching and shunting transistor groupings used to alternatively couple RF input signals to a common RF mode. The switching and shunting transistor grouping pairs are controlled by a switching control voltage (SW) and its inverse (SW). The switching and shunting transistor groupings comprise one or more MOSFET transistors connected together in a "stacked" or serial configuration. The stacking of transistor grouping devices, and associated gate resistors, increase the breakdown voltage across the series connected switch transistors and operate to improve RF switch compression. A fully integrated RF switch is described including digital control logic and a negative voltage generator integrated together with the RF switch elements. In one embodiment, the fully integrated RF switch includes a built-in oscillator, a charge pump circuit, CMOS logic circuitry, level-shifting and voltage divider circuits, and an RF buffer circuit. Several embodiments of the charge pump, level-shifting voltage divider, and RF buffer circuits are described. The inventive RF switch provides improvements in insertion loss, switch isolation, and switch compression.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a microwave signal switching device, particularly of nanometric size. The invention also relates to an electronic component incorporating such a device. The invention is particularly suitable for use in the field of analog/digital conversion for uses related to the telecommunications field. For example, the invention is suitable for microwave receivers operating at frequencies corresponding to millimeter waves or to receivers having an instantaneous bandwidth of multiple gigahertz. The invention relates to a device for switching an electrical signal, controlled by an optical wave (35) having an on-state and an off state, which can be inserted into a microwave transmission line. The device comprises a semiconductor substrate (20, 21) on which two conductive paths (32, 33) are provided, said paths being separated by a gap (34) ensuring electrical insulation between the two paths which are each connected to an input and output port (36, 37). In the on-state, the electrical contact between the two paths is established by illuminating the substrate in the area (100) of the gap by means of the optical wave. The input impedance and the output impedance of the switching device do not match the impedance of the transmission line in the "off" state and do match the impedance of the transmission line in the on-state.
