The broadband circuit performance is critical for high-data-rate communications and to cover different frequency bands. In this session, various design techniques on broadband RF amplifiers and switches are introduced. For RF amplifiers, in addition to distributed topologies, a reconfigurable architecture is adopted. As for RF switches, a distributed structure as well as power combining is illustrated. These papers demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance under broadband operations.
