Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) benefit from the technology advances in semiconductor industry to incorporate an ever-increasing number of photonic components on a single chip create large-scale integrated circuits. We here present broadband, compact and low-loss Silicon MEMS switch based Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) architecture, where curved electrostatic actuators mechanically displac...

Received Jan 29, 2018 Revised Mar 28, 2018 Accepted Apr 17, 2018 This paper focuses on the design and fabrication of reconfigurable multiband antenna for RFID and GPS as an advance tracking technology for various applications that achieve a physically compact, planar profile and sufficient bandwidth. The antenna can be reconfigured as single band at 1.275 GHz for GPS applications when the switc...

With the increasing interest in radio frequency switch by using the CMOS circuit technology for the wireless communication systems is in demand. A traditional n-MOS Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switch has good performances but only for a single operating frequency. For multiple operating frequencies, to transmitting or receiving information through the multiple antennas systems, known as MIM...

A broadband low-loss, ultra-low-power consumption transmit/receive switch using high-performance 50 nm gate-length metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs) is presented. The single pole double throw (SPDT) monolithic switch utilises a drain contact electrode sharing concept using a two-finger MHEMT. An optimal gate width of the MHEMT was chosen for low-loss, high-isolation perfor...

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) single-pole double-throw (SPDT) X-band RF MEMS switch that can be actuated between states by applying a single voltage is introduced. Since a signal can be transmitted to one of the output ports without biasing, this has the potential to reduce the complexity of the required biasing network. The switch consists of a series and a shunt capacitive MEMS switch separated ...
