TY - JOUR AU - Briso‐Rodriguez, Cesar AB - This article presents a wide band compact high isolation photoconductive switch, which is based on the series‐shunt switch design with three photoconductive switches made of diced high‐resistivity silicon wafer placed over a microstrip gap and activated by 808‐nm near‐infrared laser diodes. The switch shows an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and an isolation of 44.8 dB at 2 GHz. It is easy to operate and control by light, high‐speed, electromagnetically transparent and it does not require any biasing circuits. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
