This paper presents the design and the behavior vs. temperature of RF antenna switches in a 130 nm SOI technology. The design is implemented using two types of transistors; floating body and body tied transistors. It is shown that the floating body transistor is the best candidate for the design of RF antenna switches implemented in a fully integrated RF communication system. Outstanding high temperature behavior is also emphasized on a temperature range from 25°C to 200°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
