Abstract
A microwave switch circuit includes a first impedance conversion circuit, one end of which is connected to an input terminal; a resonance circuit connected between an output of the first impedance conversion circuit and ground and including a parallel connection of a field effect transistor and a resonance inductor; and a second impedance conversion circuit connected between the output of the first impedance conversion circuit and an output terminal. One microwave switch circuit may be connected between an antenna terminal and a signal input terminal and another microwave switch circuit may be connected between the antenna terminal and a signal receiving terminal. The microwave switch circuit output terminal and input terminal may have an impedance of 50 .OMEGA. and the output of the first impedance conversion circuit may have an impedance lower than 50 .OMEGA.. The microwave switch circuit may include one-fourth wavelength transmission lines as the first and second impedance conversion circuits. Consequently, the maximum allowable value of the incident power is increased and withstand power is increased in an antenna switch circuit.
