1. A switch element comprising:
- a source;
a drain;
a plurality of gates disposed between the source and the drain, the plurality of gates having a first input; and
an additional interconnect forming an additional gate structure having a second input different from the first input, the additional interconnect disposed between the source and the drain, and the additional interconnect interleaved with respect to at least two of the plurality of gates.

11. A transceiver comprising:
-
an antenna; a transmitter associated with a transmit signal, the transmitter operatively coupled to the antenna; a receiver associated with a receive signal, the receiver operatively coupled to the antenna; and a switch element coupled to the antenna and configured to isolate the transmit signal and the receive signal, the switch element including a source;
a drain;
a plurality of gates disposed between the source and the drain; and
an additional interconnect interleaved with the plurality of gates, the additional interconnect configured to reduce a floating node effect on the plurality of gates. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
