  • RADIO-FREQUENCY SWITCH HAVING DYNAMIC GATE BIAS RESISTANCE AND BODY CONTACT
    Publication number: 20140009207
    Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) switch circuits having switchable transistor coupling for improved switching performance. An RF switch system includes at least one field-effect transistor (FET) disposed between first and second nodes, each FET having a gate and body. A switchable resistive coupling circuit is connected to each of the respective gates. A switchable resistive grounding circuit is connected to each of the respective bodies.

  • CIRCUITS, DEVICES, METHODS AND APPLICATIONS RELATED TO SILICON-ON-INSULATOR BASED RADIO-FREQUENCY SWITCHES
    Publication number: 20140009214
    Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) switch circuits are disclosed providing improved switching performance. An RF switch system includes a plurality of field-effect transistors (FETs) connected in series between first and second nodes, each FET having a gate and a body. A compensation network including a gate-coupling circuit couples the gates of each pair of neighboring FETs. The compensation network may further including a body-coupling circuit that couples the bodies of each pair of neighboring FETs.

  • FEED-FORWARD CIRCUIT TO IMPROVE INTERMODULATION DISTORTION PERFORMANCE OF RADIO-FREQUENCY SWITCH
    Publication number: 20140009210
    Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) switch circuits are disclosed providing improved switching performance. An RF switch system includes at least one field-effect transistor (FET) disposed between a first node and a second node, each having a respective source, drain, gate, and body. The system includes a coupling circuit including a first path and a second path, the first path being between the respective source or the respective drain and the respective gate of the at least one FET, the second path being between the respective source or the respective drain and the respective body of the at least one FET. The coupling circuit may be configured to allow discharge of interface charge from either or both of the coupled gate and body.
