RF switches are used extensively in wireless systems for signal routing finding wide use in switching signals from antennas to the transmit and receive chains. They are one of the highest volume RF devices in use today as several devices are typically contained in a block diagram. RF switches fall into the two main categories of electromechanical and solid-state switches. While electromechanical switches have not found wide use in RF applications since the PIN diode was developed, they are making some new in-roads in certain applications in the form of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. Solid state switches are typically more reliable and exhibit longer lifetime than electromechanical switches plus offer faster switching times. However, solid-state switches typically have higher intrinsic ON resistance and more harmonic distortion than mechanical switches. Solid state switches: There are two main types of solid state switches: field-effect transistors (FETs) and PIN diodes.
Today’s CMOS silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) switches are starting to challenge GaAs MMIC switches in many applications as their cutoff frequencies and breakdown voltages improve. Each technology has its advantages and disadvantages which can be leveraged for various applications for an optimal solution. Up until a few years ago, MEMS switches were considered an emerging technology that had reliability and reproducibility issues but recent generations have solved many of those problems making them very competitive in several applications. In this report, RF solid state switches and RF MEMS switches are mainly discussed.
RF switches industry is relatively concentrated, manufacturers are mostly in the North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Among them, Asia-Pacific output value accounted for more than 62% of the total output value of global RF switches. Skyworks is the world leading manufacturers in global RF switches market with the market share of 22%, in terms of revenue.
