Abstract
Antenna switch modules and methods of making the same are provided. In certain implementations, an antenna switch module includes a package substrate, an integrated filter, and a silicon on insulator (SOI) die attached to the package substrate. The SOI die includes a capacitor configured to operate in the integrated filter and a multi throw switch for selecting amongst the RF signal paths. In some implementations, a surface mount inductor is attached to the package substrate adjacent the SOI die and is configured to operate in the integrated filter with the capacitor. In certain implementations, the inductor is formed from a conductive layer of the package substrate disposed beneath a layer of the package substrate used to attach the SOI die.
