Abstract

See full text

A frequency-dependent resistor and circuitry employing the same are provided. In some embodiments, a resistor includes a substrate, an input port, an output port, and a conductive trace on the substrate between the input port and the output port. A resistance between the input port and the output port for a low frequency signal is at least five times lower than the resistance between the input port and the output port for an RF signal and the ratio of the frequencies of the RF signal to the low frequency signal is at least fifty. Circuitry including a transistor adapted to selectively couple the input to the output in response to a control signal provided via a resistor with resistance for a low frequency signal at least five times lower than resistance for an RF signal will have a reduced switching time while still isolating the RF signal.
