Abstract
A monolithically integrated switch configured to operate at an input signal frequency ranging from 0 Hz to 80 GHz. The switch has an input port and two output ports. A first conduction path is provided from the input port to the first output port. A second conduction path is provided from the input port to the second output port. In addition, a first shunting path is provided between the first output port and a reference and a second shunting path is provided between the second output and the reference. In a first mode, the first conduction path and the second shunting path have a low impedance. The second conduction path and the first shunting path have a high impedance. In a second mode, the first conduction path and the second shunting path have a high impedance. The second conduction path and the first shunting path have a low impedance.
