M/A-COM Presents Monolithic, 1000 Watt SPDT Switch Paper At MTT-S 2008

Lowell, MA - Tyco Electronics M/A-COM recently announced that Tim Boles presented his "A Monolithic, 1000 watt SPDT Switch" research paper at the 2008 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) IEEE-MTT.

Tim Boles explains what he will present during the interactive session: "A monolithic high power, high linearity, broadband, pin diode switch capable of handling greater than 1000 watts of pulsed peak RF power has been designed and developed using a patented glass/silicon technology. This technology designated HMIC (heterolithic microwave integrated circuit) has been developed for various mixed signal and control circuit function applications ranging from HF through microwave frequencies. The unique design and fabrication techniques required for the needed improvements in thermal resistance and peak-to-peak voltage handling of this high power switch will be discussed in detail during my paper presentation. In addition, I will also analyze the results of this development effort in terms of standard switch parameters; insertion loss, isolation, return loss and power handling."

The International Microwave Symposium is the headline conference of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S). It features a wide variety of technical papers and workshops by researchers from around the world. The IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium 2008 (IMS2008) is the premiere event of Microwave Week 2008.
