Abstract

Microwave modulation has been achieved by using thin-film amorphous-semiconductor switches made of ternary chalcogenides. X-band microwaves were modulated by a threshold switch at frequencies varying from 100 Hz to 1 MHz, with modulation efficiencies comparable to silicon p-i-n diodes. The insertion loss was 0.5 to 0.6 dB and the isolation was 18 dB at 100 mA operating current. Possible applications this method are discussed.
