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 3):
The invention of  claim 1 , wherein the shunt circuit includes:\n (a) a first shunt circuit switch coupled to the common node; (b) a second shunt circuit switch coupled between the first shunt circuit switch and circuit ground; (c) a signal port coupled between the first and second shunt circuit switches and selectively connectable to at least one of the external circuit elements; and (d) an independent control circuit coupled to the first shunt circuit switch and configured to independently set a switching state for the first shunt circuit switch.
