Abstract :
Results for cellular antenna switches using high resistivity silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS technology are presented. The performance of SOI RF switch FETs is presented and compared to a production GaAs pHEMT technology. Data from prototype high-resistivity SOI RF switch designs is presented and compared to pHEMT based designs.
