Abstract
The design of a fully integrated RF switch on standard SiGe-CMOS technology is presented and discussed. A case study for 5-GHz indoor WLAN applications is reported. It allows on-chip T/R antenna switching operations providing better performance (typical total insertion losses are 0.2 and 0.9 dB, in R and T modes respectively) with respect to those obtained by using other solid-state devices as switching element
