The inductors compensate for the switch stray capacitances. When the Ls and | |||
the stray Cs are connected like that, they constitute a lumped element delay | |||
line. The intent is not to make a delay line, but compensate out all the | |||
stray Cs by making a lumped delay line out of it. That extends the | |||
bandwidth and makes the impedance 170 ohms (up to 1 GHz or so) rather than a | |||
bunch of Cs sitting on the connection from input to output. | |||
