We propose a new type of dual-pole triple-throw double heterojunction monol
ithic microwave integrated circuit (IC) sn itch for use in digital cellular
phon es, The IC we developed exhibits a ion; gate leakage current of 400 n
A and an insertion loss as low as 0.4 dB, even at added power of 34 dBm at
a frequency of 950 MHz. measured P-1 dB was about 36 dBm, and a low distort
ion of 65 dBc was also obtained.
