Design, Simulation And Development Of RF Switch With Defected Ground Structure (DGS) for WiMAX at 2GHz Band

This thesis represents the design, simulation and development of RF switch with Defected Ground Structure (DGS) for WiMAX at 2GHz band. This project is focused on RF Switch designing. PIN diode will be use to design the RF Switch. Besides, this project will also use Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch type of the RF switch. This SPDT switch has three poles where the single pole is connect to the antenna while the double throw will connect to the receiver and transmitter. This design also use Defected Ground structure (DGS) as quarter wavelength in the circuit switch topologies. This DGS replace the conventional quarter wave length transmission line. ADS software will be use for design and simulation then the design will be realized on the FR4 board. Once the prototype has been finish, network analyzer will be used to test it for parameter measurement.
