A radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) is described. The RFIC includes a switch field effect transistor (FET) including a source region, a drain region, a body region coupled to a body resistor, and a gate region coupled to a gate resistor. The RFIC also includes a dynamic bias control circuit. The dynamic bias control circuit includes at least one transistor coupled to the body region of the switch FET through the body resistor and coupled to the gate region of the switch FET through the gate resistor. The at least one transistor is an RF silicon on insulator (SOI) device. The dynamic bias control circuit also includes a capacitor coupled to the gate resistor and the body resistor and coupled in parallel with each transistor in the dynamic bias control circuit.
