Abstract

See full text

A transmission line switch allows a single output line (3) to be switched to one of two or more input lines (1,2) to which it is permanently connected at a common junction (4). Each input line (1,2) has an associated amplifier stage (10) which can be biased in a normal high gain (`on`) state, or in an isolation (`off`) state. Suitable biasing in the `off` state ensures that the amplifier stage output presents a low impedance to its own input line, the length (L) of which is chosen to reflect a high impedance at the junction (4) with the other lines. Correct design enables the return loss and insertion loss of the `on` path to be kept to low values while simultaneously offering a high insertion loss to the `off` path signals.
