Abstract
A communication unit includes a switch unit, and antenna, a transmitter and a receiver. The switch unit includes a plurality of micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) switches and couples the antenna to the transmitter and the receiver. A switch unit includes a die, a first transmission line formed on the die, and a second transmission line formed on the die, and a plurality of MEMS switches. The plurality of MEMS switches couple the first transmission line to the second transmission line.
