Abstract: A design procedure for asymmetric SPDT switches is proposed and validated by a MMIC demonstrator covering the full X-Band, well suited to integration in T/R modules. The demonstrator exhibits 0.7 dB and 1.6 dB insertion loss along its TX and RX paths, respectively, and 21.5 dB isolation in TX mode. Chip size is as compact as 1 x 1 mm². [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
