Abstract
Radio-frequency (RF) devices are disclosed having transistor gate voltage compensation to provide improved switching performance. RF devices, such as switches, include a plurality of field-effect transistors (FETs) connected in series between first and second nodes, each FET having a gate. A compensation network including a coupling circuit couples the gates of each pair of neighboring FETs.
