Abstract
This paper reports a novel millimeter-wave (mmWave) non-volatile chalcogenide phase change material (PCM) germanium telluride (GeTe) based scalable crossbar switch matrix. The proposed 2 ×2 crossbar switch matrix configuration is designed using PCM single-pole double-throw (SP2T) switches monolithically integrated with a scalable crossbar unit-cell. The presented switch matrix utilizes a maximum of only two series PCM switches in any possible signal route, minimizing the insertion loss. The non-volatile PCM switches consume no static dc power. The proposed switch matrix is fabricated in-house using an eight-layer custom micro-fabrication process. The 2 ×2 switch matrix is ultra-compact with the device area under 0.1 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . Over dc to 40 GHz, the fully integrated 2 ×2 switch matrix exhibits a measured insertion loss less than 1.35 dB, a return loss better than 20 dB, and an isolation higher than 24 dB. The integrated PCM switches utilized in this matrix offer up to +35.5 dBm CW RF power handling and better than +41 dBm of linearity. The RF PCM switches are experimentally tested for more than 1 million reliable switch actuation cycles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
