Abstract

The isolation performance of the S-band single-pole single-throw (SPST) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) switch with two different RF-interconnection approaches, microstrip and grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) lines, are investigated. On-to-off isolation is improved by 5.8 dB with the GCPW design compared with the microstrip design and additional improvement of 6.9dB is obtained with the coplanar wire-bond interconnection (CWBI) at 3.4 GHz. The measured insertion loss and third-order inter-modulation distortion (IMD3) are less than 2.43 dB over 2.5 CHz $\sim$ 4 GHz and greater than 64 dBc.
