  • Abstract
    In this paper, a fully-integrated RF front-end MMIC comprised of single-pole triple-throw (SP3T) antenna switch, two low noise amplifiers , RF low-pass filter and diplexer is fabricated using WIN semiconductor 0.5 mum InGaAs E/D-pHEMT process. This MMIC is designed for 2.4-2.48 GHz Wi- Fi band and 3.4-3.6 GHz WiMAX band. The chip size is 1.65 mm x 1.35 mm.
