A high-performance single-pole single-throw(SPST) RF switch for mobile phone RF front-end modules(FEMs) was designed and characterized in a 0.13 μm partially depleted silicon-on-insulator(PD SOI) process. In this paper, the traditional seriesshunt configuration design was improved by introducing a suitably large DC bias resistor and leakage-preventing PMOS, together with the floating body technique. The performance of the RF switch is greatly improved. Furthermore, a new Ron × Coff testing method is also proposed. The size of this SPST RF switch is 0.2 mm2. This switch can be widely used for present 4 G and forthcoming 5 G mobile phone FEMs.
