Abstract
This paper reports for the first time an over-20dBm power-handling 5GHz transmit/receive (T/R) CMOS switch. The Depletion-layer-Extended Transistor (DET), which possesses high effective substrate resistance, enables the voltage division effect of the stacked transistor configuration to work in CMOS, thus realizing this high power-handling capability. Furthermore, despite insertion-loss (IL) degradation due to double on-resistance with the stacked transistor configuration, a receive-mode IL (I L@RX) of as low as 1.44dB at 5GHz is accomplished with the benefit of the IL improvement effects in the DET, in addition to a very low transmit-mode IL (IL@TX) of 0.95dB at 5GHz.
