Abstract:
Amplitude-phase canceling circuit for switch linearity. In some embodiments, a radio-frequency switch circuit can include first and second switch arms, with each switch arm including a plurality of transistors arranged in series to form a stack between a first node and a second node. The first node of the first switch arm can be coupled to the first node of the second switch arm. The radio-frequency switch circuit can further include an amplitude-phase cancelling block implemented across one or more transistors of each switch arm, and configured such that a third harmonic resulting from an ON state of the first switch arm is substantially canceled by a third harmonic resulting from an OFF state of the second switch arm.
