            Abstract : 
A novel approach is introduced in this paper to develop an integrated antenna switch module (ASM) for DCS/UMTS user equipment applications. The realizations of this module are mainly based on the 3-D integrations of using the LTCC (low-temperature co-fired ceramic) substrate and PIN diode, through which PA and LNA can be connected with the antenna directly. Measurement results show its in-band isolation to be better than −28 dB with IL (insertion loss) less than −1.3dB, which are in good agreement with the simulated ones.
