Abstract
A radio frequency (RF) switch arrangement that improves the voltage handling capacity of a stack of switching elements (e.g., field-effect transistors (FETs)). The RF switch arrangement can include a ground plane and a stack arranged in relation to the ground plane, the stack including a plurality of switching elements coupled in series with one another. The RF switch arrangement can also include a plurality of capacitive elements, each of the plurality of capacitive elements providing a capacitive path across respective terminals of a corresponding one of the plurality of switching elements.
