Abstract

See full text

A system for impedance matched switching of an input signal from an input source includes a first switch, such as an FET, for controllably switching the input signal from an input terminal connected to the input source to an output terminal, the switching being controlled according to a control voltage. The system further includes a second switch, such as an FET, for controllably switching a matching impedance between the input terminal and ground according to the control voltage. When the input signal is prevented from passing from the input terminal to the output terminal by the first switch, the input signal passes through the matching impedance, which has an impedance characteristic substantially matched to an impedance characteristic of the input source.
