Abstract

The first GaAs MMIC using PIN diodes as the active elements is described. The single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch covers the frequency range 2 to 18 GHz, and can handle incident powers of 1W at X-band. Isolation and insertion loss vary respectively from — 55 dB and 1 dB at 2 GHz to —17 dB and 2.2 dB at 18 GHz.
