Abstract:
A FET-based RF switch architecture and method that provides for independent control of FETs within component branches of a switching circuit. With independent control of branch FETs, every RF FET in an inactive branch that is in an “open” (capacitive) state can be shunted to RF ground and thus mitigate impedance mismatch effects. Providing a sufficiently low impedance to RF ground diminishes such negative effects and reduces the sensitivity of the switch circuit to non-matched impedances.

Claim (Index 5):
The invention of  claim 1 , wherein the shunt circuit of a first switching branch includes a corresponding first signal port, and the shunt circuit of a second switching branch includes a corresponding second signal port, and wherein in at least one mode of operation, the shunt circuit of the first switching branch is set to couple the first signal port to a first external circuit element through one of the at least two switches of the first switching branch, while the shunt circuit of the second switching branch is set to concurrently couple the second signal port to a second external circuit element through one of the at least two switches of the second switching branch.
