DC–20‐GHz compact SPQT switch for butler matrix switched beam smart antenna system

Abstract: A DC–20‐GHz broadband and compact single‐pole‐quadruple‐throw (SPQT) switch for Butler matrix switched beam smart antenna system application has been designed and fabricated on 0.15‐μm GaAs pHEMT process. By adopting inductive high impedance transmission lines in series‐shunt switch topology, the SPQT switch demonstrates an insertion loss of 1.25–3.53 dB from DC to 20 GHz, and the isolation is higher than 22 dB with a compact chip size of 1.5 mm2. The measured output 1 dB compression point (OP1 dB) is 16 dBm a… Show more

“…They are (a) switchedbeam systems and (b) adaptive array system. Smart antenna array processing [6,41,42,[71][72][73][74][75] is based on the configuration of the spatial correlation matrix at the antenna array. In the design of smart antenna [43,44,76] techniques, system architecture, implementation and complexity limitations need to be considered.…”

“…Furthermore, previous SPDT, SP4T, and 4 × 4 switching matrices [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] were never integrated at the system level. If the chip RF output ports are connected on a PCB using bonding wire by the conventional method, then the bandwidth will decrease from 20 to 5 GHz.…”

“…In general, this is an effective method to enhance the system capacity by combining the adaptive antenna technology with the cell technology. An intelligent cell with switch beam is introduced in [17,27,28]. In this system, all the beams of the basestation adaptive antennas share available channels and the antenna system is responsible for determining which beam the current location of the mobile station belongs to; thus it uses the antenna switch to connect the radio channel to the beam, correspondingly.…”
