These ICs have excellent performances of low insertion loss and high power handling capability even with a low control voltage by stacking three JFETs with shallow Vp and using a novel bias circuit. One DPDT switch IC has two shunt FET blocks and can obtain high isolation without external parts. Insertion loss smaller than 0.6 dB and isolation over 25 dB up to 2 GHz were achieved. P1 dB was about 35 dBm even with the control voltage of 0/3 V. Another DPDT switch IC utilizes a parallel resonance of external inductor and parasitic capacitance between drain and source of OFF state FETs. By attaching 15 nH inductors, for example, the IC exhibited insertion loss as low as 0.4 dB and isolation of better than 40 dB at 1.5 GHz, and P1 dB was about 34 dBm with the 0/3 V control.","PeriodicalId":422183,"journal":{"name":"GaAs IC Symposium IEEE Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuit Symposium 17th Annual Technical Digest 1995","volume":"66 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115675273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PIN diodes can obtain an input third order intercept IIP3 of +20 to +40 dBm, but at the expense of complicated biasing and high current consumption. GaAs MESFETs used as attenuators require only a control voltage and are easily integrated into monolithic circuits. A major disadvantage of the GaAs MESFET is its high level of distortion. In a series attenuator configuration, a typical GaAs MESFET IIP3 is 0 dBm at 10 dB attenuation. Therefore, GaAs MESFETs are used only under very low level input signals. This precludes their use from most high volume applications such as cable television, DBS receivers and cellular telephones. We present a new transistor, a bootstrapped gate FET (BGFET) which provides about an approximate 20 dB improvement in distortion over a standard GaAs MESFET.","PeriodicalId":422183,"journal":{"name":"GaAs IC Symposium IEEE Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuit Symposium 17th Annual Technical Digest 1995","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134423155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
