Title: A DC to 43-GHz SPST with Minimum 50-dB Isolation and+19.6-dBm Large-Signal Power Handling in 45-nm SOI-CMOS

Abstract:
A fully-differential, single-pole single-throw (SPST) switch capable of high isolation in broadband CMOS transceivers is described. The SPST switch realizes > 50-dB isolation across DC to 43GHz while maintaining an insertion loss (IL) < 3dB. RF input power for -1dB compression (IP1dB) of the IL is +19.6dBm and the input third-order intercept point is +30.4dBm (both for differential inputs at 20GHz). The prototype is fabricated in 45-nm RF-SOI CMOS technology and has an active area of 0.0058mm2.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
