Abstract
A 2 × 2 Switch Matrix operating at the 3.3-3.8 GHz frequency band is presented. The design is based on PIN diode switch elements. The achieved isolation is below 80 dB, while the insertion loss is less than 2 dB for the full frequency band. The proposed 2 × 2 Switch Matrix is used as the antenna switching element in the RF Front-End of a WiMAX Relay Station, supporting both Time-domain Transmit and Receive and Simultaneous Transmit and Receive operation in Time Division Duplexing mode.
