  • Abstract
    The trade-off between insertion loss and isolation in RF antenna switches is critical for RF communication systems. Possible improvement through circuit design is limited. The implementation of RF antenna switch using an optimized technology or an innovative device architecture could be the solution to achieve better insertion loss and isolation. The dynamic threshold MOSFET is presented here as one possible solution.
